On May 21, 2021, in collaboration with the Libyan Society for Birds and the Libyan Organization for Conservation of Nature (LOCN), the team successfully ring‑marked 9 Yellow‑Legged Gulls (Larus michahellis) at Dukheil Cave to monitor their behavior and migration patterns.

The operation was successfully carried out despite the challenging location of the nests on a steep rocky cliff, requiring safety equipment to ensure the team’s well-being.

This species is a resident and breeding bird in Libya and is widely distributed across several countries.
