Sagres Festival of Birds 2017

[Simon Elliott]

A few days in Portugal for the mainly raptor migration at the Sagres Festival of Birds. Some new birds for me including Ruppell's Vulture, Great Shearwater, Balearic Shearwater and European Storm Petrel. Others included Honey Buzzard, Common Buzzard, Black Kite, Bonellis Eagle, Short-Toed Eagle, Booted Eagle, Griffon Vulture, Chough, Hen Harrier, Black Stork, Osprey, and finished off in Vilamoura with Black-Winged Kite, Purple Gallinule, Marsh Harrier and Kingfisher. Well worth the visit.
