2024 Bird Spring Migration on our Land in Alentejo

This year is the second time we get to enjoy the spring migration of birds on our land. Just like last year, we decided to note the first day of the year we see each migrating species coming back, whether they just pass by to fly further north, or arrive to stay in our area for the season. It is important to keep in mind that obviously may arrived or passed by before, but we did not see them. These days only mark the first day we spotted them.
