Yellow-legged Gull/Larus michahellis and one unlucky Gafish/Belone belone

Gafish,in Greek: "zargana".
Yellow-legged Gull,in Greek: “asimoglaros” asimo-asimi:silver, glaros:gull.

some info for the yellow legged gull from wikipedia: is a large gull of Europe,the Middle East and North Africa. It is sometimes considered to be part of the same species as the Caspian Gull
and the combined species is then called Larus cachinnans.Adults are similar to Herring Gulls but have yellow legs. They have a grey back, slightly darker than Herring Gulls but lighter than Lesser Black-backed Gulls. They are much whiter-headed in autumn, and have more extensively black wing tips with few white spots, just as Lesser Black-backed. They have a red spot on the bill as adults, like the entire complex. There is a red ring around the eye like in the Lesser Black-backed Gull but unlike in the Herring Gull which has a dark yellow ring.
First-year birds have a paler head, rump and underparts than those of the Herring Gull.
They have a dark bill and eyes, pinkish grey legs, dark flight feathers and a well-defined black band on the tail. They become lighter un the underparts and lose the upperpart pattern subsequently. By their second winter, birds are essentially feathered like adults, save for the patterned feathers remaining on the wing coverts. However, their billtips are black, their eyes still dark, and the legs are a light yellow flesh color.The call is a loud laugh which is deeper and more nasal than the call of the Herring Gull.

more info from the sait of Greek ornithological company and another older view:**previous photo**

some info for the garfish from wikipedia: is a pelagic, oceanodromous needlefish found in brackish and marine waters of the Eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea, the Baltic Sea, etc. The fish lives close to the surface and has a migratory pattern similar to that of the mackerel. They feed on small fish and leap out of the water when hooked. The garfish are oviparous and the eggs are often found attached to objects in the water by tendrils on the egg's surface.

the scene was photographed a clouded over day,in the harbour of island Ithaca, on the awning of fishing boat!

thank you for your visit in my collection!

have a nice day and keep on photographing!
