WILD PORTUGAL

Below are photographs and information about the animals of mainland Portugal that I have observed so far. These are further divided by the biomes where they are most frequently observed.

Forest Areas

Forest Areas

Oak, pine, and eucalyptus forests conceal some of the country's most discreet inhabitants, from foxes and squirrels to songbirds, which announce themselves more by sound than by presence.

Mountainous Areas and Valleys

Mountainous Areas and Valleys

Rocky outcrops, slopes and deep valleys where the Iberian wolf and the largest birds of prey reign.

Fields and Rural Areas

Fields and Rural Areas

Fields of grain and cork oaks stretching as far as the eye can see, vast territories of the Iberian lynx, the great bustard, and also birds of prey.

Wetlands

Wetlands

Rivers, lagoons, and marshes where life pulsates to the rhythm of the water, sheltering herons, flamingos, otters, and countless amphibians.

Coastal Zone

Coastal Zone

Dunes, cliffs and coastal scrubland, where birds and reptiles withstand the wind and salt of the Atlantic.

Urban Areas

Urban Areas

Among rooftops, gardens, and canalized rivers, swallows, bats, and countless others find shelter and food near us.
