THE HOT SAND CONTRAST WITH THE COLD WATER, IN THIS PLACE WHERE THE WIND STEPS TO CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE EVERY DAY. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DUNES AND VEGETATION, THESE SMALL BEINGS SEEK REFUGE AND FOOD.
From the dunes that are bathed by the Atlantic winds, to the slow and solemn rhythm of the temporary ponds, in Mindelo, calm and fury live hand in hand. Our departure seeks to find the calm of the lambs among the dunes created by the wind. We will travel along the extensive beach trying to photograph this small bird, which seeks refuge in different spots. This species can be observed walking along the sprout, looking for food in the debris dragged by the sea. At the end of the day, they group up to spend the night in the group's protection.

Experience Level
Everyone is welcome, although the tour is aimed at photographers with reflex cameras (with or without a mirror) and telephoto lenses, with experience in wildlife photography. I recommend that you have some familiarity with your camera, as I don't know all the existing models and you may have to change some settings to try a new technique.
Before departure, in the briefing and during the walk, you will have the opportunity to discuss the settings, I will give you several tips to make the most of the tour and you are free to ask any questions.
