Brilliant. It is as though we are birding together, taking in the sights and the birds. Thankfully not too hot for me watching at home in Essex! Your presenting style is relaxed and informative. Thank you.
Nice one Shaun. I've been visiting the Algarve since 1981. Quinta do Lago has changed massively over the years. I'm heading off to Sagres in a few weeks. Keep up the videos, they are very enjoyable to watch. All the best
Hi Shaun, top job , very enjoyable . just got back from Mallorca , where i followed your video and saw lots of great birds all in the sites you filmed in , had a really good birding time. many thanks 👍
Nice! Hope you don't mind me making some comments. Pallid Swift is more abundant than Pallid in most of the coastal cliffs of the western Algarve. Thekla's Lark is also more numerous than Crested, which is mainly along the coastal parts, Thekla's being the most abundant inland and only at the coast from Lagos to Odeceixe. Short-toed Larks are not so abundant, mainly along sand dune habitats, the biggest population being on the grasslands of the Sagres peninsula, sensu lato. Calandra Lark is extinct in the Algarve since some 3 decades or so, only found in the SPA (ZPE) Castro Verde, where its not so easy especially in the summer as the post-breeding flocks they form are spread far apart. Skylark has its only breeding population in southern Portugal on the Sagres peninsula. I would highly recommend a trip in late spring, when its the best time to find all the breeding species in inland Algarve, many of which are not on the coast (or hardly).
Most enjoyable Shaun nice one
Another fascinating video Shaun.👍
Cheers dude.

@nicholaswarner5475 excellent glad my video gave you lots of location ideas to visit, well done.
Did you see any Bee-eaters in Carvoeiro? We saw them almost daily when we vacated there.
@antonygray4114 I did indeed, had a pair literally over the road from where we stayed BUT I couldn't get close enough for a decent shot.
