View up river of the Guadiana

The tide was going upstream until about 4 p.m., so Roger and I canoed up to the next village, about 4 miles away. Near to the village, was a house and garden with an Emu and Lamas. We went up a small tributary where we saw more terrapins. We had a very good view of a Golden Oriole and saw Bee-eaters and a lot of Azure-Winged Magpies, which are a beautiful grey-blue colour. We stopped on the river bank and had a picnic and read. When the tide turned we canoed back to Pomarao. It was harder going back because the wind was against us.
There were about five Dutch campervans parked up. We had tea on the boat and then went on Dennis and Wendy’s boat for a drink.
WILDLIFE: Bee-eaters, Golden Oriole, Azure-Winged Magpie
