Audouin's gull (Larus audouinii)
It is a Laridae of the same seagull family. It is smaller than the yellow-legged gull observed in all environments. It is more restrictive in terms of diet, which is why it is strictly marine and very endangered.
A few years ago, its global population was threatened with extinction. Several countries, particularly in southern Europe, have taken drastic measures to preserve it.
Today, and thanks to these measures, the world population is increasing.
However, the species remains very rare in Algeria because of its sensitivity to disturbance during the nesting period. The Audouin's Gull has been on the list of protected non-domestic animal species since 1983.
