Lisbon - Bird Watching

[ilovhywd]

Apparently there is a large bird sanctuary on the Tagus River, not far from Lisbon.

 

Holland America offers a shore excursion to this area, but Princess does not. So I have spent hours on the internet trying to find a company that takes you there by boat. So far, no luck!

 

I know this is a shot in the dark, and I'll be very surprised if I get any replies, but has anyone ever attempted to visit this bird sanctuary?

 

Thanks!

No experience, but a suggestion. Considering contacting the local chapter of BirdLife International, they may be able to recommend a tour or a tour leader who could arrange this for you.

 

The organisation is SPEA: Portuguese Society for the Study of Birds

Hope you can get something arranged,
