1st March 2024 – The Algarve, Portugal

Our five day birdwatching tour has now finished and we have been enjoying the slower pace by discovering the locality around our hotel at Praia Senhora da Rocha along the coast from Armação de Pêra. There continue to be opportunities for more nature photographs .

Along the coastal path we had close encounters with a black redstart, a blackbird, house sparrows and chiffchaffs.

On our visit to the famous Benagil caves there were cormorants and, of course, yellow legged and lesser black-backed gulls.

Maybe you can see a crocodile here

…or maybe an elephant

The flora near the church at Praia da Rocha is quite amazing too.

This euphorbia grows in our garden too

Birds of paradise?
