With nearly 1500 individuals thought to exist in Portugal, the Great Bustard (or Otis tarda) is the region's flagship species. Frank, the Quinta's resident birdwatching professional, uses his 20 years of experience in the region to help all keen birdwatchers track down this increasingly rare bird.

The Great Bustard is just one of the many species which can be seen in the unspoilt Alentejo region of Portugal. For a complete list of birds of the region, please click here.
