Birds & Nature is proud to announce the launch, in May 2024, jointly with Fundação Jacqueline Dias de Sousa, of an important new conservation initiative. The foundation is the owner of Quinta da Atalaya, a property located near the Tagus estuary which offers excellent conditions for nature tourism. Initially, the conservation project, which is to be funded by Birds & Nature contributing a donation in respect of every client it takes to Quinta da Atalaya on its popular birdwatching tours in the Tagus estuary, will concentrate on the purchase and installation of nest boxes on the property for such species as woodpeckers, tits and owls. In a scheduled second phase of the project, our objective is to build a visitor-friendly infrastructure which will include the construction of observation hides for the better viewing and photography of birds and other animals without disturbing their daily activities (May 2024).

We are delighted to be able to announce that the female Montagu’s Harrier P3C sponsored by Birds & Nature has arrived safely in Africa and has now reached the south of Mauritania, close to the border with Senegal. P3C set out on an astonishing 400 km flight over the Atlantic Ocean from Faro on 28 September and was in the air for 13 hours, reaching an altitude of 2088 metres before making landfall just south of Casablanca on the Moroccan coast. The information gathered from this epic journey is of particular significance as it adds important detail to the somewhat incomplete knowledge of the migration pattern of this species, which has a worryingly declining population across its entire range (October 2023).

A second captive-reared female Montagu's Harrier P3C which was also fitted with a GPS-Cellular-Solar ACC Tracker financed by Birds & Nature Tours' conservation fund, was released into the wild on 24th August 2023. Further news will be posted as events unfold (August 2023).
