Bird Life On The Banks Of The Tejo River In Lisbon
A thick-billed plover (Anarhynchus wilsonia) walks very close to the banks of the Tejo River in Lisbon, Portugal, on September 12, 2024. The banks of the Tejo River in Lisbon serve as a refuge for a rich diversity of birds, both resident and migratory. This aquatic ecosystem is home to species such as flamingos, herons, and ducks, as well as kingfishers and cormorants that forage in its waters. During migration, the river becomes a crucial stopover for rare and colorful birds, while the riparian vegetation provides shelter and nesting sites. The environment is vital for birdlife and offers a unique experience for birdwatchers in the midst of vibrant urban life. (Photo by Jorge Mantilla/NurPhoto)
