The Audouin’s Gull (Larus audouinii) is an endemic species to the Mediterranean and listed as ‘vulnerable’ in the red book of birds of Spain. Traditionally nests on rocky islands and islets that provide protection against land predators.
Ricard Gutiérrez, biologist of the Marine Fauna Rescue of the Generalitat de Catalunya, will talk about, in his conference at the festival, how this species has begun to colonize the vertical axis and why in recent years, some pairs of Audouin’s seagulls are beginning to occupy vertical spaces in buildings in towns and cities, a fact that is still quite atypical and that gives us an idea of the degree of adaptability that this species presents.
Moreover, Ricard Gutiérrez, will offer a workshop about identification of mediterranean sea birds sponsored by Swarovski, that will led us some especially optics useful for seawarching thanks to its power, ergonomics and definition.
