Returned from a family holiday in the Algarve.
Returned from a family holiday in the Algarve. Made special from a wildlife watching perspective by a visit to Donana, which was alive with wetland birds. Best of my photos below.
Highlights of the sightings during the holiday were:
*Savi's Warbler singing in Donana, and a Great Reed Warbler skulking
*Booted Eagle over Donana amongst the many Black Kites
*Purple Swamphen also at Donana
*Quail, Montagu's Harrier, Great-Spotted Cuckoo, Collared Pratincole, Thekla Lark and Iberian Hare in Vale do Guadiana
*Golden Oriole, Blue Rock Thrush, Woodlark, Redstart, in Serra Do Caldeirao
*Polecat seen in headlights during a night safari in Serra do Caldeirao

Nice pics Pete. We're these all with the new camera with the build in 80x zoom?
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a bit hit and miss compared to my previous DSLR at times, but the magnification is 5 or 6 times better, and it is light too.
