  • Timing and strategy

Ah, the birds… the main reason for the existence of the Lajedo dos Beija-flores project. Boa Nova is home to one of the greatest biodiversity in this group, with approximately 460 species of birds and, in Lajedo dos Beija-flores and its surroundings, around 260 have already been registered and cataloged.

Among the target species most sought after by observers and which are possible to find in Lajedo, we can highlight two endangered species, the Gravatazeiro (Rhopornis ardesiacous) and the Balança Rabo Canela (Glaucis dohrnii), besides, of course, the Red Hummingbird ( Chrysolampis mosquitus), a migratory species that visits us in summer.

And talking of hummingbirds, we cannot fail to mention that, of the 24 species registered in Boa Nova, 18 of them already frequent our gardens.

Give recommendations for making your visit as productive as possible.
This may include for instance:
• best season
• best time of the day
• how much time to spend at the site
• best means of locomotion within the site
• recommended routes / areas within the site
• guiding
