Birdwatching in February - We went on the Boat Trip/ Birdwatching in the Tagus Estuary at the end of February, 2024. This adventure let us observe Lisbon from the water which was a rare treat. Carlos, the guide, pointed out birds we had never seen before such as the Eurasian Spoonbill. We also had a beautiful view of the Vasco da Gama bridge when we went under it. Unfortunately it rained quite hard when we were on this trip so we recommend bringing a rain coat. Carlos was knowledgeable and experienced.

Should be on every birdwatchers bucket list - Carlos knew exactly where to find all the wonderful birds that inhabit the Tagus estuary and, even without binoculars, he could spot species a long way off. A real godsend to keen and experienced birdwatchers like us.
