Back in Blighty

                                        Hoopoe

Azure Winged Magpie

Purple Gallinule

    A lovely week in the Portugese sun and then back to -2 degrees and a very iced up car. Had some fantastic walks around a beautiful nature reserve south of Almancil near Faro  saw some great bird rareties like  Purple Gallinule,  Little Bittern, Bluethroat, Glossy Ibis, Azure Winged Magpie, Hoopoe, Common Waxbills etc etc. Got some great shots too I'll post a few as I hav'nt got any pot pics yet, maybe I'll just  have this as my holiday blog......It was a great chill out week the weather was amazing and we discovered a fantastic cheap fish restaurant, a real gem of a place.

            Back to the workshop tomorrow for a few hours, can't see through the windows at the moment the ice is so thick on the inside.....I want to make pots !!!!!!!!!!!!
