Not really good at the waders, so I pass on the woodpiper, but I reckon common redshank - yes
and the plover I'd go for a juvenile ringed plover. Anything else that looks very similar is not
supposed to be in Europe. lol

I just love the landscape / scenery - very pretty and inviting. \O


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Love indeed the variety of birds, Lisbeth \O

Also the coloured houses are beautiful - We have been once in summer at the Algarve and indeed colourful umbrellas everywhere although still lots of silent and hidden beaches and bays to find and explore O\/

Yes I am sure, Pumbaa \O The coast line is so long, so it's enough to move away from the villages to find peace O:V
