Puerto de Deportivo, Algeciras, Cadiz Province, Spain.

A morning looking for the Ring-billed Gull again but a dip again.
Ebird List for Algeciras Port. 

Little Gull (Gaviota Enana / Hydrocoloeus minutus).
After a decent nights sleep and a cold shower I made my way to the car and then back to the site where I had been yesterday looking for the Ring-billed Gull (Gaviota de Delaware / Larus delawarensis) but the weather was horrendous, heavy rain and wind.

There were more Gulls around and I was pleased to find a single Little Gull (Gaviota Enana / Hydrocoloeus minutus) in amongst a large group of Black-headed (Gaviota Reidora / Chroicocephalus ridibundus).

I also had Mediterranean (Gaviota Cabecinegra / Larus melanocephalus), Lesser Black-backed (Gaviota Sombria / Larus fuscus), Yellow-legged (Gaviota Patiamarilla / Larus Michahellis) and Audouin's Gull (Gaviota de Audouin / Larus audouinii), Sandwich Tern (Charrán Patinegro / Thalasseus sandvicensis), Great Cormorant (Cormorán Grande / Phalacrocroax carbo), Common Sandpiper (Andarrios Chico / Actitis hypoleucos), Ruddy Turnstone (Vuelvepiedras Común / Arenaria interpres), Little Egret (Garceta Común / Egretta garzetta), Barn Swallow (Golondrina Común / Hirundo rustica), Eurasian Collared Dove (Tórtola Turca / Streptopelia decaocto), Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor), Common Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula), House Sparrow (Gorrión Común / Passer domesticus), Meadow Pipit (Bisbita Pratense / Anthus pratensis), White Wagtail (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla alba) and European Greenfinch (Verderón Común / Chloris chloris).
Audouin's Gull (Gaviota de Audouin / Larus audouinii).
The rain got worse so after around 2.5 hours I decided to head home which turned out to be a good idea as I saw that there were some flooding problems later in the morning.
