Albufera Natural Park is set between rice paddies and the sea, and closed off by the meeting of the mouths of the Turia and Júcar rivers. It is a haven for migratory birds. The preserve is located south of Valencia, about 11 kilometres from the capital, and is separated from the sea by a thin stretch of sand dunes held in place by Mediterranean pines and shrubs. The adult Mediterranean Gull standing just to the left of center in this photograph has its summer plumage. This species has a scarlet colored bill and legs and a large black hood. Three age groups, juvenile, 1st, and 2nd winter, typify this species. It was a warm, sunny afternoon with temperatures in the mid- to high 70's.
