José Tavares (RSPB Country Programmes Officer for Portugal) is to run a marathon as a fund-raising initiative to provide the urgently needed engineering work to construct a manageable sluice to control the outflow of water from the lagoon to the sea. This will replace the current method of total evacuation which has drained the lagoon completely several times this year and caused the failure of breeding of most species.

If you have visited this site, especially if you are a regular visitor, and derived pleasure from its normally huge number of birds, please visit this website and consider making a donation to sponsor José's "marathon" effort:

Come on you guys, time is short; I can't believe there are no Forum members out there who have taken advantage of this fabulous location and are not prepared to put their hands into their pockets to save this place - any amount will do, just DO IT, Please :cry:

P.S. A shot taken this morning - this is what we are trying to preserve:
