General knowledge about bird spots in southern Portugal. Now living very close to Ria Formosa Natural Park (estuarine) and working in the "serras" (low mountains that border the upper limit of the region - mainly woodland and scrubland). I live almost next to Faro's airport, and the visitor would inclusively have the oportunity to acompany me in a day's work with Bonelli's Eagle. Former birding pal, I have taken my name out of the list previously because I was working at sea (Newfoundland, Azores).
