Whilst always looking for something different or unusual, today didn't reveal anything I haven't encountered in the last week. The large reedbed at Paul de Lagos didn't have any Penduline Tits showing at all today. I turned my attention to at least 5 Cetti's Warblers that were calling constantly in the surrounding undergrowth. A common warbler in the Algarve, but doesn't always show easily and is a renowned skulker. This morning, the odd one was sitting in the open, singing merrily and I was pleased to gain some more images of this smart little warbler. In Lagos harbour, I'm keeping my eye open for a Glaucous Gull. There's got to be one down here soon! The Razorbill is still in the fishing port and keeping busy. A fluffy Little Egret was watching the Razorbill. Towards Alvor, I caught up with the Black-shouldered Kite again, in its favourite field. For some reason, it was pre-occupied with trying to disconnect someone's phone line!! Never tire of seeing that bird with the amazing red eyes - mine were that colour after sorting 320 Sora images!!!
3 immature Greater Flamingos - note the 'resting' leg, projecting at the rear. Comments are closed.
