Bait for fishing of Yellow-legged Gulls (Larus michahellis), remembering the summer, the sea and how rhythmless it is even when it appears calm.

Excellent video, thanks for sharing! I know, this isnt posted as an ID request, but I cant resist (you know):
from 1:18 on there is an adult Mediteranean Gull (white winged gull with the right, gonzo-like bill and square head and look at those long legs) and the bird from 1:55 on gives a strange feeling to me? All features are artefact and low resolution (no offense)? Or is it a 1 cy Adouins Gull by extensive black tail with pure white uppertail-coverts/rump and uniform dark wiIt doesnt give the impression of a large Gull (1 cy LBBG?) to me with those shallow, mechanical wingbeats and some shearwater gliding, but its a long time ago I saw Adouins Gulls (1999) and for some reason I dont remember them well. Reason dont know, maybe I didnt study them well at that time?

What a difference a screen makes. It is indeed either a Corys or Scopolis Shearwater. Looking at this in HD on a larger screen, you can see the yellow bill in the right shape and a large head. And the reason for the mechanical wingbeats and the shearwater gliding is there.
Thank you Pianoman!
