Observation details
As someone not from Europe and not having birded much there, I was not sure what this species was and still am not! It has a bi-coloured bill (black at end, red at base), gray legs and feet; there does not appear to be any white on the tips of the primaries but it's missing some primaries. This is not really small bird but a very beautiful one. The tail feathers have not grown back which made me wonder if it was an immature moulting into an adult . I wavered between Audoin's Gull and the Slender-bill Gull, but settled with Audoin's.
