Last Push Up In Portugal

The Sun replaced the Rain today Saturday 1st March. I had another long slog until old age took its toll and had a fair bit of satisfaction 😊. 
The 🦩 flock has risen to 36 birds. Oystercatcher numbers have doubled to 2 birds 😆. Spotted Redshank are doing well here and it’s a wader I really like to see. I got lucky photography wise with a feeding Spoonbill followed closely with a wading Whimbrel

A Pipit species was new for me here but the view was too brief for identification.. A Chiffchaff sang Swallows & House Martins gathered mud while a Green Sandpiper posed for one badly focussed photo then hid below a ridge of mud.
