Field Notes

Description:

Another rarity which stood a few months in Lagoa de Albufeira (it might still be there who knows). It took me quite a few hours to find it in the middle of dozens of Eurasian Coots. I looked for it everywhere and, when I was just about to leave, it caught my eye - stunning bird.

Notes:
