Last year, hubby and I visited a little fishing village where we were hoping to see the fishermen mending their nets, and perhaps the arrival of the fishing boats, when sea birds gather for the pickings.
We saw many seagulls, only one plover, but large gatherings of Cormorants near the water's edge. I was so fascinated by everything we saw that I also took photos of the nets and traps as well.

Good morning & what a beautiful visit to the Portuguese coast to start my day! I can almost taste the salty air & hear the crash of those beautiful breakers as well as the cries of the gulls! This was a wonderful series of photos, I loved them all but especially the blue nets!
Enjoy your day!
Hello. Fisherman's work is really tough. Great pictures.
Oh boy....now, seriously, next time you decide to spend the day at the beach as beautiful as this, call me!!!
Such gorgeous images. I could smell the different fragrances, feel the mist in the air, and enjoyed the gentle breeze!! Wonderful.
So picturesque! I would love to be there!
Very nice pictures showing fishing accessories and the work of the fishermen. Birds certainly count on the fish from them. Regards.

Hello, wonderful collection of images. I love the beach and coastline and all the birds. It is neat watching the fishermen at work. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
Oh my... Those nets!!
I would hate to have to sort them out, but your photos are fantastic, especially the first one (n° 9) that is very graphic, so is n° 8.
The young gulls and the last portrait are also superb!
Congratulations!
Enjoy your weekend
WOW.....beautiful photography!!! Amazing closeup on the seagull!!!!
I love visiting those authentic fishing villages. There's always lots of photo opportunities. Looks like you didn't waste any of yours and captured some great scenes and colours.
The interface between land and see is always an interesting visit - for the wildlife especially, but the human presence is generally pretty interesting too. Great job here.
what a GREAT set....feels like home!!!!
Great shots. Waiting for your results!
