Day 11: October 13, 2024 – Portimão, Portugal
One of my earliest memories of Poland is of storks nesting in the chimneys in my grandparents’ village. They’ve always had a special place in my heart.
So I almost squealed with delight when I stepped off the ship in Portimão, Portugal, and spotted an enormous stork nest with two White Storks on it. Then another. And another. They were everywhere, perched on any tall structure overlooking the sea, a phalanx (that’s what a group of storks is called) of half a dozen soaring high up in the clouds. I didn’t have to go far for today’s birding!
Oh yeah, I did manage to capture a few other pictures in this lovely little seaside town, that weren’t of storks. 🙂
