El Faro, Fuengirola, Malaga Province.

An hour in the sea watch hide at El Faro.

Audouin's Gull (Gaviota de Audouin / Larus audouinii).
I dropped Jayne off at the shopping centre and then drove down to the spot a short way down the coast, I parked and walked along to the hide seeing just a single Audouin's Gull (Gaviota de Audouin / Larus audouinii), several Yellow-legged (Gaviota Patiamarilla / Larus Michahellis) and a single Ruddy Turnstone (Vuelvepiedras Común / Arenaria interpres) which was still in none breeding plumage.
