Well I thought I had finished photographing and blogging for the day but I could not resist more opportunities later this afternoon when the tide was low in the river right in front of our terrace and a spoonbill and a little egret arrived on the scene. There were other little waders that I couldn’t resist either.
Our last couple of days on The Algarve have been particularly blustery and we have restricted our birdwatching activities, as most days here, to the mornings.
Yesterday we walked around our “local” patch at the Olhão salt pans. Again, probably because the tide was very low, there wasn’t very much to see. The highlights were probably an overhead spoonbill, another Sardinian warbler and some little terns.
Today we made our way to the area near Fuzeta where we had been a few days ago and walked through to the Arroteia birding area further east.
