Located in the heart of ecological reserve, the farmhouse is an ideal base for those interested in ornithology. Many species of colourful and rare birds are sighted here each year.
We are located within a short drive of the Castro Verde plains where rare species are noted to be breeding: the lesser kestrel and the great bustard are amongst these.

Vultures, eagles, stork, bunting, kite, harrier, bee eater, nuthatch, hoopoe, woodpecker have all been spotted this year on or near our land.
Three short-toed eagles were spotted in April, 2010, flying over the paddocks. One caught a snake and ate it in midair.
