| Abstract: | The scavenging behaviour by gulls is well documented (Cramp 1978) and the Yellow-legged Gull Larus michahellis is no exception. Diet analysis on the Filfla colony have been carried out and apart from birds, which form a large portion of the gull‘s diet (Borg & Cachia-Zammit 1987, Borg et al. 1995) other organisms have been recorded; including, rats, rabbits, various marine organisms and inorganic objects such as plastics. |
