disappoint. The very first photo of the trip was the Azure winged magpie below, and they just kept coming. The first morning was spent around the Alvor estuary, then it was off to Lagoa de Salgado . Day 2 was around the Castro Verde area where 5 lifers were enjoyed in the first hour, also a sky that seemed full of Monties and 2 Spanish Imperial Eagles. The Great bustards were mega and one did the "foam bath" display, but the dirty Little bustards only showed in the distance. 2 Black vultures rounded off a good visit to the LPN reserves and the bridge at Mertola was home to lots of Lesser Kestrals.
