PN Ria Formosa--Cabanas, Tavira, Faro, Portugal
Jon Curson
I didn't count all the usual birds that are always present here, just the species that sermed to be passing through.
| 2 | Maçarico-realNumenius arquata Feeding in the saltmarsh |
| 1 | Maçarico-das-rochasActitis hypoleucos |
| 272 | Gaivota-de-audouinIchthyaetus audouinii At least 272 (almost certainly more) flew west along Cabanas waterfront between 15.15 and 17.15. Majority were adults but quite a few 1st and 2nd summers too. Some were in mixed groups with Yellow-legged Gulls but many were in single species groups of 3 to 15. |
| 1 | Íbis-pretaPlegadis falcinellus Flew east |
| 4 | CarraceiroArdea ibis Flew west |
| 1 | AbelharucoMerops apiaster Flew north west |
| 1 | FrancelhoFalco naumanni A male Lesser Kestrel flew north-west over my head while I was counting the Audouin's Gulls moving west. I didn't pick it up till it was quite close to me but it looked as if it had flown in off the sea. |
