The Algarve

May 23rd - May 30th, we visited the Algarve, I birded only three areas during the week. Quinta do Rocha, Abicada and Quinta do lago. I saw enough to convince me that I need to return.

It was nice meeting you here in the Algarve Mike. Pleased to see that you did manage to find Qta do Lago!! You have some great images here. You were very lucky with the weather - at the moment we have gale-force winds and torrential rain showers which is unheard of here in June.
