While my girlfriend and I waited for the ferry, this seagull visited us. At first she was quite cautious and became more and more curious over time. When she noticed that we had nothing to eat, she lost interest quite quickly and ran on. The specimen in this photo is probably a Larus michahellis also known as Mediterranean Gull. They grow between 52 - 58 cm in size. I have to say honestly, to see the animal from close up has reminded me how big such a seagull can become.
If you want to learn more about them here is the Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow-legged_gull (ENG)
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mittelmeerm%C3%B6we (GER)
It seems like the Larus michahellis is named "Mittelmeermöwe" in german, if you translate it it means: Mediterranean Gull but it seems it's a different Gull. For comparison see the english Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_gull
