Marine Birds
The Atlantic ocean is home for many marine birds. In the Algarve for instance, we often spot Northern gannets feeding on the same bait ball than common dolphins. Other birds like Skuas, Shearwaters or Storm Petrels can also be found regularly. During winter months we can also spot Puffins and Razorbills on our shore.
