Title: The white storks of SW Portugal - another chapter
Post by: Paulo Bizarro on June 16, 2023, 04:28:46 am: Last time I wrote about these birds, in May, the females had laid their eggs. I visited last week, and the juveniles had been born, which was great.

Thank you David. What you mention was facilitated by the fact that the background/cliff is far away from the nest. I usually use the Fuji 70-300mm lens at f/8.

Thanks. It helps the birds are not flying!
