15th October 2025 – Fuseta, Portugal

Today I start with my last bird photo of the day – a bluethroat. I had seen one earlier in the week and was pleased with my efforts of constantly looking at all the sparrows in a bush opposite us to find this one. I must admit, though, I have had enough of looking at house sparrows.

Hereafter the photos are generally in chronological order of when I have taken them in the day but are only a small representation of what we have seen today. I have tried to include only new birds or photos with some particular interest.

We have enjoyed regular sights of a kingfisher flashing past but as yet I have not managed a photo – I still have a few days left so nil desperandum.

I am pleased that we are not alone in enjoying the spectacular views
