On a drive to the center of Lisbon we stopped at a few towns and regularly came across buildings with lots of mud nests under their roofs. Most House Martins are done raising their young in August, but some could be seen with a 2nd or maybe 3rd batch
House Sparrows sneak in when the original tenants are gone.
Back in Lisbon I noticed these Rose-ringed Parakeets in an abandoned building site
The city parks were crowded with tourists seeking refuge from the heat and there were no birds to speak of
At the same place: 2 Collard Doves
And a juv Black Redstart
Other very common birds, but a bit unusual for me after all these years on the other side of the globe:
House Sparrow, female and male
White Wagtail
And of course the Blackbird, male
and a young female
Last our neighbors in the harbor, female Mallards
And the tenants of the pond across the road
