A Yellow-legged Gull takes flight near the Tamentfoust harbor, east of the capital Algiers, on March 19, 2017. - The Yellow-legged Gull, only recently classified as a species distinct from the Herring Gull, is invasive, aggressive, noisy and very messy. Today it can be found as far as 100 kilometres (60 miles) inland, says Professor Riadh Moulai of the University of Bejaia. The "rat of the sky", as it has been locally dubbed, has taken advantage of human waste to supplement its normal diet of marine scraps, breeding fast and becoming the region's most common seabird.
