Larus audouinii
Larus audouinii, also known as the Audouin's Gull, is a fascinating seabird species found in Croatia's coastal regions.
These gulls have striking white plumage with gray wings and a red bill, making them easily recognizable. They are often seen near the coastline, feeding on fish, crustaceans, and other marine creatures. Audouin's Gulls are known to nest in colonies on islands and coastal cliffs, where they lay their eggs in shallow depressions lined with vegetation.
Conservation efforts in Croatia, including the protection of nesting sites and sustainable fishing practices, are essential for preserving this beautiful seabird species.
