👀 Spotted in Ria Formosa: The Little Egret! 🐤🌿
Graceful, elegant, and a true wetland star—the Little Egret is one of the highlights of our boat tours through the stunning Ria Formosa lagoon! ✨ With snow-white feathers, black legs, and its iconic yellow feet, this bird is a joy to watch.
Did You Know?
🌊 These clever birds use their bright feet to stir up fish in shallow waters—a fishing trick you might just see in action during one of our tours!
🌍 The little egret is a globe-trotter, found in wetlands across four continents, but it’s especially at home here in the tranquil waters of Ria Formosa.
🔍 Their plumes were once so coveted for fashion that their populations were threatened. Conservation efforts have brought them back in full swing, and now we can admire them in all their natural beauty!
📸 Best Spots to Find Them:
Keep your eyes peeled as we glide through the salt marshes and tidal flats. They love wading through the shallow waters, their reflection creating picture-perfect moments.
