Black tailed godwit
One of the reasons we spend a long time near Tavira is that there is good birdlife in and around the River and the salt flats. Today was our first birdwatching here on this trip and plenty to see, including booted eagles flying overhead and spooking the birds.
Sppobills
Stone curlew
We first came across stone curlew when we came here five years ago and they always were to be found in a particular ploughed field. Last year there was intense cultivation in the curlews' field and more so this year, so very pleased to find them not too far away from their original spot. They are amazingly difficult to spot as they stand very still and are easily scared away if you get too close so we are pleased with this photo that we got today but will be trying to improve on it in the coming weeks.
Flying spoonbills but can you spot the flamingo?
