Back from Portugal (1 Viewer)

[wildthingbc1]

Hello Folks, Excited to report we had over 89 birds and around 40 lifers from a trip to Setubal, Mertola and Porto in Portugal. We had a birding guide for one day for the Sado Estuary and cork forests and a guide for 2 days around Mertola. Neat birds and interesting landscapes.

I'm an intermediate birder, 71 years old, with over 30years of Xmas counts, big days and trips all across North America, Europe, and Asia chasing birds. Right now I'm looking for a new 60mm lightweight travel scope as I'm tired of packing a big 65mm scope and tripod totaling 9lbs.

Been enjoying it so far, there's a lot of international birders who see different birds than Canadians!

Hello Dannie and welcome to the forum, enjoy and all the best.

Hello Chris, As Super-Moderator, perhaps you can direct me the method of adding a profile photo and a quote. I clicked on everything I could find, but no luck so far! Sort of like coaxing a Cetti's Warbler out of the bush!
