Western Reef Heron - a photo on Flickriver

Western Reef Heron

            Cape Verde is not really for people who like to portray birds. It is for hiking. But in Ponta do Sol I did see some birds near the sea like the Turnstone, the Whimbrel and this bird the Western Reef Heron. A bird I hadn't seen before who was fishing near the rough ocean, running around to catch fish, not really bothered by my presence. 

So i spent several hours and several days at this place which is situated near the harbor. That was another interesting place for observing. The fishing boats came in every morning, and a great part of the male population was buying fish here, and cleaning it on the lava beds in the ocean. The Turnstones (and the cats!) were present to eat the leftovers.
