### The Castro Marim Salt Marsh Nature Reserve

 
The guides guarantee that there are birdwatching routes in the Castro Marim Salt Marsh Nature Reserve where more than 60 species of birds can be observed in just one day, because:

 The region is among the 10 most important wetlands for birds in Portugal.

 More than 200 species can be observed there throughout the year.

 The reserve has a strong presence of species unique throughout the country, as well as rare and even some endangered species.

 An important nesting community stands out, which includes several waders such as the Avocet, the Stone-curlew, the Black-winged Stilt, and the Great Bustard.

 For those with a curiosity or a more knowledgeable eye, among the dozens of possible species, you might spot: Pomegranate Warbler, Marsh Lark, Long-tailed Cuckoo, Bonelli's Eagle, Roseate Flamingo, Spoonbill, Common Sandpiper, Black-necked Grebe, Red-billed Tern, and Slender-billed Gull.

 You can find several companies offering programs, itineraries, and guides in this area of the Algarve, such as:
