Just been on my Hols to Tunisia, and saw a curious Gull.

Pure white wings and under parts.
Black Bill
Red Legs.

  No dark markings around the head, tail or wing tips. Around the size of a BH Gull.

Also, a Tern slightly larger that the Little Tern, which where there in huge numbers, with grey under wings. ?

Number 229 in my list, Pink Flamingos on the dried salt marshes around Sousse, Tunisia.

As a foot note we also watched Swifts and Bats catching flies in BROAD daylight.... yep thats right. I was shocked to see the bats, but they where in flight in the dozen around the palm trees from 5pm onwards.

Not unusual to see bats out during the day Eddie, even in this country, Pipistrelle and Noctule  bats are regulars over streams and rivers catching flies.
