Love it when they land on a wire and you can capture them in all their technicolor glory. ⠀
Another day in the saltpans and plenty of waders to see. However this was taken two years before yesterday's shot and the waders were not the reason I took it. Can you spy the two terns?⠀
#OTD in 2019 we were taking it easy after a rather lengthy walk the day before, and easy for us means spending a few hours birding in the saltpans. And who can resist a Black Winged Stilt, I certainly can't! ⠀
It was the sound that first caught my attention #OTD in 2019, this fellow was making a right racket tapping on the tree!⠀
Apologies for the non #OTD photo yesterday, the first day I haven't been able to find an #OTD shot in my Portuguese photographic archives. It must have been raining or something!⠀
You may recall me sharing a close up of the Judas Tree at the beginning of this #OTD adventure. Well here's another one of the same tree.⠀
