Hi there,
Just found birdforum and I love it! I saw on the map that I´m now the third registered member in the Alentejo region of Portugal (I hope that there are more but can´t see them on the map).
By the way, I´m Dutch, living now for 13 years in the Alentejo and just opened the new website http://birdwatchingalentejo.com
It´s almost done and it can be used as a blog also.
But the main reason I joined here is that I need your help. I always loved birds and was always birding in Holland when I was younger.
But then one gets busy working etc. but now the time has come to enjoy bird watching again and I want to share this with others.
Regarding your help:
There are some real interesting species here but sometimes one can not be entirely sure. Therefor I bought a new digital camera yesterday and I will start shooting.
Now my big question is: Did I or did I not see the Spanish Imperial Eagle on my land. My friend, a lifelong bird watcher is 90 % sure but then I read everywhere that there are only 2, or others say 5 pairs, in Portugal.
So I will try to take a photo of it and although my site says we have the Spanish Imperial Eagle here I need to be 100 % sure.
We do life in a very remote area although close to a small town, but the nearest lights we can see at night are at a distance of 8 kilometers. And their are no car noises!
For those of you who want to explore this fantastic bird area please have a look at www.montehorizonte.com
