Sometimes nature
unexpectedly shows us living creatures which awaken our curiosity and make us
aware of the existence of other lives which are every bit as intricate as our
own.
Integrated into the Natural
Reserve of the Sado Estuary and the Comporta – Galé Community Project, Herdade
da Comporta is a perfect example of the complexity of the environment and a
wonderful place for visitors interested in exploring wildlife – particularly
birdlife.
The Sado Estuary is one of
the most important wetlands in the country with unusually diverse natural
systems (beaches and dunes, marshes, woods, forests, salt marshes, rice fields
and bogs) which attract more than 200 species of birds.
