Santo Andre

Each September Chelmarsh R.G. travels to the west coast of Portugal, 22 km above Sines, to Santo Andre Nature Reserve. The reserve consists of a series of freshwater lakes separated from the sea by sand dunes. Reedbeds and willows in the lagoon zones contain hosts of migratory birds, and a ringing station is operated throughout August/September.
