Beschreibung

Bioria Nature Reserve is very well hidden behind the town of Estarreja. It is an endlessly connected series of wetlands with large reed fields and small-scale wet farmers' fields. Hundreds of Weißstorch and thousands of water birds live here. And more than 200 pairs of Purpurreiher. It is the largest colony of Purpurreiher in Portugal. Cycling and hiking trails have been laid out and there is a visitor center. Almost 200 different bird species have been recorded. Uferschnepfe, Löffler and many other waders can also be found here during migration. And Rötelschwalbe, Bienenfresser, Wiedehopf and Gleitaar can also be observed.

Zugang

Bioria Nature Reserve is located to the west of the town of Estarreja. Click on the P in the map to get directions to the parking of the reserve next to the Interpretation Center. Best way to see the Purpurreiher, is to walk or cycle the "Salreu" path. This is the route you see on the map below. Path Salreu is circular, and starts and ends at the Interpretation Center. It has a length of about 8 kilometers and can be done on foot or by bicycle. It is a route that crosses rice fields, marshes, reed beds and rushes. By foot the walk takes about two and a half hours. Note that it can be very busy with visitors, especially in the weekends.

Zusätzliche Informationen

A telescope can be very useful, because you also pass the lagoon where the birds are very far away. But the Salreu is a rather long walk, so maybe you should think twice :-)

There are also three other birdwalks you can do in the area. Path Rio Jardim ( 2 km), Path Bocage (3,6 km) and Path Rio Antuã (5,7 km). For more information see the Bioria-website, click on the link below.
