Eurasian Griffons passed over Tavira this week, presumably heading for Tarifa. About 150 were counted on Sunday.
At least three Water Pipits have been regular at Pedras d'el Rei.
Meadow Pipits are now very numerous - but still smart little birds and quite variable in plumage.
Always popular and, in spite of what some of the books say, still quite vocal in November.
Greater Flamingos - hard to ignore.
Bar-tailed Godwit - one of at least 21 wader species currently around Tavira.
Sometimes even long-legged Flamingos get out of their depth!
Common Greenshank - always one of our favourites!
When not chasing off Little Egrets, this hybrid Western Reef x Little Egret regularly poses for photographs - tight-rope walking a speciality!
Stone-curlews are not too hard to see - if you know where to look!
Six gull species are here now and can sometimes be seen all in one place. Just two on this photograph.
Lesser Black-backed Gull - one of the most common species around here in winter.
