A few weeks ago, I went down to the marina to watch the final regatta of the Tall Ships Races Lisboa 2023, as the sailboats left Lisbon on their way to Cádiz, in Spain.
Meanwhile, during the couple of hours before any of the ships sailed by, there were other things to see - as was the case with this nice sanderling.
Há algumas semanas fui até à Marina de Oeiras para ver a regata final do Tall Ships Races Lisboa 2023, para ver passar os veleiros que saíam de Lisboa rumo a Cádiz, em Espanha.
Entretanto, enquanto os navios não apareciam, havia outras coisas para ver, como este simpático pilrito das praias.

Pigeons may pose a health risk in the city, but I enjoy seeing them flying freely and hanging around in the trees outside my window :)
Os pombos podem representar um risco para a saúde nas cidades, mas gosto de os ver voar livremente e pousados nas árvores em frente à minha janela :)

This was one of several times that I regreted not having my 70-300mm lens with me in the Algarve :)

To my utter disbelief, there was a seagull calmly walking around the golf course that morning – whenever I come across a bird walking around and around and around, I can't help but think, "Why?!"
Just FYI, it ended up walking into the distance as if it had completely forgotten how to fly :)
Portimão, Algarve - Portugal
Para meu grande espanto, havia uma gaivota a passear pelo campo de golfe naquela manhã - sempre que vejo uma ave a andar e a andar e a andar, não consigo evitar pensar "Porquê?!"
Para que saibam, ela continuou a caminhar até bem longe, até desaparecer do meu campo de visão, como se se tivesse esquecido completamente de como voar :)
