Field Notes

Description:

Spotted at a sandy beach (Cova do Vapor) at the Tagus River Estuary, Lisbon, Portugal, running and trying to fly away from me, as I was trying to approach them to get some clear shots.

Habitat:

Sandy beach.

Notes:

Photos taken with a Canon 1000D. Sorry for the bad quality photos but the camera and lenses weren't my favorite for this kind of shots.

Thank you Neil Ross. In my opinion, a good lens and camera are important if you want good records and to extract as much information as possible from your spottings.

Excellent photos, Miguel. You should see the camera I use. I'm sure your light years ahead of me. Great series :-)
