Last 2 from Portugal. Sardinian Warbler and Caspian Tern.

Next overseas trip will be an already twice postponed Iceland visit in March so I'll be hoping for 1 or 2 interesting birds or animals in amongst all the obligatory photos of volcanos, geysers and stuff. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this retirement thing :D

Sorry, just found a few more good ones from my Portugal trip but these are the last, Greenshank, Common Snipe & Whimbrel, plus a fox which was actually in Spain as I was staying only a few miles from the border

Lovely little birds. Never seen one but fingers crossed, should be a possibility when I visit Iceland.
 
How has this thread jumped over to the football board?

Cancel this, it never happened.

Driving up from Pontardawe today, I saw a little Egret in the river Tawe, I've never seen one around here before, just wondering if anyone else has ?
