This has got absolutely nothing at all to do with the Quinta, apart from the fact that I’m quite partial to photographing Nature – and birds in particular, as you can see from the Quinta’s other website, www.birding-in-portugal.com.
However, at the risk of muddling those who read this blog with no interest at all in our avian friends, I find these two shots quite interesting …
A few months ago Daniela and I were in Thailand chasing birds – what else?! – and the day before we left I was lucky enough to get a lovely picture of an Indian Roller …
… and then yesterday I was out guiding a birding trip from the Quinta and I managed a very similar shot of a European Roller.
And they say that European birds are all “brown and boring” … I dunno about you, but they sure as hell rock my boat!
