| Two record shots of an immature Bonelli's Eagle (Aquila fasciata) we had overhead on the watchpoint yesterday. These transitional birds - moulting from juvenile to first adult plumage (2nd Cy atumn) are a bit tricky - and most people get a bit puzzled when looking on such a bird for the first time... |
A great opportunity to visit the region and been introduced into its fantastic nature and birdlife is the upcoming Sagres Birdwatching-Festival, taking place October 4th to 6th 2013, organized by SPEA and Almargem.
Inscriptions for guided group visits, boat trips, walks, talks, workshops and many other activities are open. The program is available in English and Portuguese - for inscriptions and all Info visit:
