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

Love indeed the variety of birds, Lisbeth
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

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

Looks like that bridge moves up and down with the tides, Lis?
The area looks quite healthy, looking at the birdlife and molluscs?
So clean!
steamtrainfan should be ecstatic about that train!
Sandwich pics!

I know, I am not serious enough, sorry Dewi
I'll try to improve

Now I must just put the right name on the right bird
