Birdwatching at Ria de Alvor
Overview
During this tour, you will explore a part of the Quinta da Rocha peninsula with a local and passionate guide. We will start by walking between old pastures and orchards. In January, it will be possible to see Almond trees blooming and from April, the colorful Bee-eaters are present, a treat for gthe eyes! Then, we will look at the birds on teh Ria de Alvor wetland. At low tide, many people join the birds looking for clams and cockles. Flamingos and the Osprey are regular species seen in the area.
