I have recently returned from Alvor (in the Portuguese Algarve), where I usually spend part of my summer holidays, spending the late afternoons photographing in the Ria de Alvor. To get here, you can take a wide gravel road from one of the beaches to the village of Alvor, where you must then walk for about half an hour. To my pleasant surprise, recently installed wooden walkways now enable visitors to walk across and avoid trampling on the sensitive areas and make the journey lighter. The Ria is full of wildlife. Flocks of goldfinches followed me along the route. A lark, very common here, bounces around in front of me. Golden dunes with magnificent vegetation invite me to take many pictures. Arriving in one of the banks of the Ria, the little terns flit annoyed from one place to another. I realize they have nests nearby, and so I moved away. In the background there were many juveniles, already capable of flying. I have known about this colony for a long time, but this summer they have moved closer to the gravel road. Whenever somebody passes by, there is a scene like "Angry Birds." Nevertheless, it enabled me to take new images of these birds in flight with the sun behind and some juveniles over the dune, partly hidden by the vegetation. I finished taking dragged pictures of the banks of the Ria with the flow tide. This late afternoon photography was profitable. When I arrived in Alvor it was already night.
