Well we have been out and about a little today exploring the delights of Fuseta but not until I had photographed more birds than I know what to do with. Plus ça change plus c’est la même chose!
Quite appropriate really to use a little French as as we seem to hear French spoken here more than any other language and the first couple of photographs rather sum up the mood a little around here.
All other photos were taken from the balcony or the garden looking out on to the tidal river and salt pans of Fuseta.
