  • Posted on June 17, 2016November 23, 2017

Now this was a proper hike, ok it was only 8miles, but with its up and downs and glorious views you felt like you had been walking for days rather than hours.

Something artistic for today, plus after the last two days when my shots had a hint of grey skies I thought something bluer would be rather nice. Springtime is a wonderful time to go exploring in Portugal, we cannot wait to be back here in 2022. We missed it so much this year, and also last year⠀
Mine are only just germinating but at this time of year in the #Algarve they are in all their glory - love springtime in Portugal⠀
As we drive up to one of our favourite places for hikes in the Algarve, there's a bend in the road where you get a great view of one of the reservoirs. It was rather misty when I took this in early April of 2019, but I still cannot resist sharing it today. ⠀
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! ⠀
