Three cormorants are sitting on a boat. One is sitting at the bow, turned towards the other two at the stern with its beak open. The two at the stern have turned away and are looking in different directions

At low tide, a whimbrel uses its long beak to dig a shellfish (or fish) out of the mud. It is photographed from the side and is reflected in the wet sand

The photo shows a close-up of a pink flower (Scabiosa). The flower head consists of many individual blooms. Particularly striking are the larger outer blooms, which frame the smaller ones in the centre, which are a lighter shade than the outer ones.

A close-up of a yellow butterfly on a yellow flower. This butterfly belongs to the Pieridae family and is known for its distinctive colouring. The undersides of the wings are yellowish-green. A striking feature is the pale, reddish-edged spot on the underside of the hindwing, which often resembles the shape of a ‘8’.

Close-up of a comma butterfly (Polygonia c-album), a distinctive butterfly from the Nymphalidae family, sitting on a green plant. The wings are open. Its wings have a characteristic ‘torn’ or frayed appearance, which makes it look like a dry leaf when at rest. It owes its name to a small, white C-shaped mark on the otherwise dark brown underside of its hindwings. The upper side is a bright orange-brown with a pattern of dark spots.

The picture shows the spectacular limestone cliffs of Carvoeiro in the Portuguese Algarve. Particularly striking are the fishermen, who often stand right on the edge of the steep cliffs at dizzying heights. This tradition is widespread along the entire Algarve coast, as the Atlantic here is rich in fish species such as mackerel, sea bream and sea bass.

A Holly Blue (Celastrina argiolus) is perched on the side of a wildflower. Its small body and antennae are clearly visible. The closed wings are white with black spots. The background is a natural green, out of focus. The Holly Blue is often the first blue butterfly to be spotted in spring, as its first generation begins to fly as early as late March or April. The undersides of the wings are characteristically light grey to almost white with a slight bluish tinge. They are covered with many small, deep black spots, which, however, do not have orange markings or ‘eyes’, distinguishing it from many other blue butterfly species. Size: It is a delicate butterfly with a wingspan of approximately 23 to 30 millimetres. Upper side: The upper side of the wings is light blue in both sexes, although the females also have a broad, black-grey margin on the forewings.
