| 20 | Yellow-legged GullLarus michahellis |
| 50 | Yellow-legged/Lesser Black-backed GullLarus michahellis/fuscus Many were seen flying and roosting during the boat trip. This number is very low to what was actually seen, but fully identifiable. |

| 1 | Northern GannetMorus bassanus |
| 1 | European ShagGulosus aristotelis Seen flying very low over water near cliffs at Benagil Caves. Smaller than the Great Cormorant. All shiny, black, slight build with a long thin neck. As I was in a speed boat in choppy water I was unable to get a photo. |
| 3 | Peregrine FalconFalco peregrinus Seen flying side cliffs near Benagil Caves. One was chasing a gull and after 3 attack attempts the falcons gave up the chase. |
