Yellow-legged Gulls Adapt to Urban Life in Algeria

Along Algeria’s Mediterranean coastline, Yellow-legged Gulls have increasingly adapted to urban environments. Photographed in Tipaza by Said Manseur, this documentary essay looks at how rooftops, utility poles, telecommunications structures and water tanks have become part of the birds’ habitat, revealing a quiet coexistence between wildlife and the modern city.
