Just home from a week in Fuerteventura for my birthday. Many great birding moments, 5 lifers, but this has to go first. One of my best ever photos. Not a bird, but it was flying 12 feet out of the water 😳😳😳. A dolphin.

From this 2 day intensive birding trip to south Portugal I thought the Little Bittern would be my favourite. Then I got the Hoopoe. However, I ended the day with my first Bee-Eater. No contest, that’s the one 😎😎 ✅
