Hi Lila,
Looking at your photo, the bird has this bright yellow eye, while one of the field marks of caspian is that it usually has a small "bullethole" dark eye. Besides, Caspian would really be a rarity in southern Spain, not really what the descricption of the photo conveys. So I suspect that this is in fact a yellow-legged gull, which is the common big gull of the Mediterranean shores. Posted 5 years ago
