Near the end of winter, we look for the awakening of bird and mammal life next to the Pateira de Fermentelos lagoon. The storks and the ducks, the herons and the kingfisher and the The otter, the wild rabbit and the fox are some of the inhabitants we can find here.

Leaving Óis da Ribeira we follow the Águeda river to the Requeixo bridge. Among willows and poplars, we find the "Pateira" formed by the Cértoma river. After passing the Ois da Ribeira park and the quarry from which the "Eirol sandstone" was extracted, we arrive at the Espinhel park, a bird watching site. In the last stage we go to Perrães passing through rice fields. We finish at Carreiro Velho park with a "toast of honor".
