Tavira Keeps Delivering Birds

Just like the UK the Algarve is subject to inaccurate weather forecasts. It was supposed to rain all day but after an early morning downpour it stopped so off I went to what I call the far side. This being over the river and the opposite end of town.



6 White Stork 2 on their nests in town and 4 flying over the wetlands 😛.

40 Great Flamingo 



2 singing Blackcap ditto Serin Iberian Chiffchaff 👍.
Zitbags were all over the joint and 3 of them need doctors appointments; they actually stopped for a couple of seconds and showed themselves.

4 Sandwich Tern. Pr Shelduck. 6 Black-tailed Godwit



Reed Bunting provided a break from the many House Sparrows lining the road.
Got my first Common Swift on the way back to the hotel.
