Foto fantástica de uma espécie que preenche o meu "imaginário juvenil", pois é certinha que nem um relógio e no início de Maio lá apareciam e continuam a aparecer os bandos migradores no estuário do Arade (Portimão)

Parabéns!

Great shot Faísca of a species which is not easy to photograph. We have them coming through Ria de Alvor and Lagoa dos Salgados at the moment, but it is impossible to get to closer than 80 - 100 metres.

Parabens,

Colin

Colin, in Docapesca de Portimão you can get a very close look on flying and feeding birds. There were 13 birds last weekend. The are two good spots, one on the last pear and the other one on the southeastern part of the harbour after the biggest building. The best time to visit is on the high tide.

Thanks for that tip - I will maybe try this weekend if the weather keeps good.
