Forest Findings

39 15

Last weekend I took a stroll on the forest reserve of Vila do Conde, Portugal, here called Naturconde. Armed with a camera in hopes of getting some decent photos, here´s what I managed to capture:

The first animal I managed to encounter was this bird, it´s a Common Blackbird (Turdus merula). In this place it´s harder to spot birds than it is to listen to them due to a large number of trees.

Second animal I managed to find was this Green Lizard (Podarcis virescens) or (Podarcis carbonelli) which is hard for me to determine, a very common reptile around these parts. I sometimes see them in urban hiding between cracks on the walls and pavements. It was very still when I took this photo, they are very fast, when escaping. They are sometimes known to lose their tails when threatened and can grow them back. Males tend to be more colorful with females having a brown color.

I also found a couple of insects, this one up here looks its a member of the order diptera, basically the order where flies and mosquitos. It kinda look s like a version of one. Also the plants there attracted pollinators like butterflies, bees and even wasps.

All and all it was a good day. I wish I had seen more birds, but at least I didn´t leave empty-handed. Going to these places is always exciting because I never know what I´m gonna find.

Nice photos. I hope you can share more soon. I also want to share something. The lizard one, it is called alibot in our local dialect, and it is believed to bring bad luck. It was just a superstitious belief though

That is interesting. But yeah nothing unlucky about this lizard though, except it might a threatened species due to climate change. Or so I´ve read.

That's sad. A lot of species are affected because of human selfishness.

That photo of the insect on the green rope is amazing. I mainly hear birds, they fly straight into your face but if I grab my phone they are gone. A phone doesn't make such a great photos anyway. Kind of pity. 👍

I´m always of the opinion you can still take decent photos with a phone, it a matter on how to use the settings, they are also some phone accessories especially for photography if you can´t get a regular camera. While a DSLR camera is recommended there isn´t to say it´s impossible. There are some tutorials out there. Take this one for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHvFHRPLvII

It is hard to make a good photo of a bird of prey flying high in the sky. I tried it many times and no matter the settings my eyes see it newer by than the camera does. Who knows one day I can afford again to buy a camera unless I am blind at that time or no longer live here. Thanks for the link. 👍

Thank you and Yes I´m very lucky. But in my opinion, you don´t always need to go places like this to get some fun photos. Animal Life is everywhere, you just have to pay attention. Heck even the most common birds can be someone else´s exotic creature they never see In their area. Also I trained myself to pay more attention to insects. I look for garden and tree areas or even among walls and floors. That depends of course where you live.
