Starting from Tavira, we propose a guided birdwatching tour through the Ria Formosa. A full day won’t be enough to explore the Ria Formosa Natural Park; we will explore marsh and salt pan areas, as well as agricultural fields and cork oak forests in the transition to the mountains.<\/p>\n
Flamingos are emblematic birds due to their size, abundance, and vibrant colors; their calls stay in our ears, but there are many more species that we can easily see in the salt pans and marshes: Common Shelduck, White Stork,\u00a0 Glossy Ibis, Spoonbill, Purple Heron, Osprey, Marsh Harrier, Black Kite, Western Swamphen, Black-winged Stilt, Black-tailed Godwit,\u00a0 Pied Avocet,\u00a0 Dunlin,\u00a0 Common Greenshank, Common Redshank, Slender-billed Gull, Audouin’s Gull, Caspian Tern, Little Tern, Kingfisher, Yellow Wagtail, Serin.<\/p>\n
In the woods and agricultural fields we can see the European Bee-eater, Hoopoe, Iberian Magpie, Sardinian Warbler, Corn Bunting, Iberian Green Woodpecker, Southern Grey Shrike, Woodchat Shrike, Long-tailed Tit, and Golden Oriole. And many more species than those listed here; on a day of birdwatching we can usually see 80 different species, a little more at certain times of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
