Such gorgeous birds.
I have ...I love these photos! Such gorgeous birds. <br />I have a holiday home on Quinta do Lago South overlooking the top end of the Lake. Yesterday I photographed a flash of yellow - a lone male in my garden (which gives on to the golf course) - he was busy eating insects on the grass among a big group of sparrows. My photos were through glass and rain and just with a compact Lumix, but quite satisfying. HIs wife was on a bush this morning, posing very prettily for me; I got a lovely shot.<br />With the help of Google, I managed to ascertain which bird it was then checked it out with a friend who is a real bird enthusiast, and he sent me the link to this page. Your photos are fabulous! We are blessed with such beautiful birds here in Quinta do Lago; purple gallinules 300 yards from where I sit!<br />Regards, <br />LesleyMsMoggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04082401320364555192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308305243800578417.post-23396813169744620532013-05-12T19:13:15.377+02:002013-05-12T19:13:15.377+02:00fantastic pics.

I spent some time last week at Lagoa Dos Salgados near Alberfeira and saw one of these on the margins of a golf course on the edge of the lake and didn't know what it was so you have cleared up a mystery for me. It does't seem to appear in European books yet<br />Thanks!<br />David, GranthamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
