I am a Alentejano-Sonian field naturalist. Since 2007, during my free time, I have been taking care of an area of Montado (Oak savannah) located at the heart of the PTZPE0056 Special Protection Area and devoted to steppe birds (Little Bustard, Black-bellied Sandgrouse,...), mixing biodiversity protection and regenerative farming practices.

And my Alentejano blog (2013-20): http://cebolasdocampinho.blogspot.com/

I am especially fond of Wool Carder Bees, Velvet Ants, Cuckoo Wasps, Leucospid Wasps, Hoverflies, Mantids, Clearwing Moths, Ant-like Beetles, Tortoise Beetles, Jewel Beetles, Jumping Spiders, Palp-footed Spiders and Pseudoscorpions.

The things that I'm currently especially curious about include:

• The diversity of Ziziphus pollinators in Southern Europe
• The invertebrates living behind Punica granatum bark scales
• The fauna of small temporary Alentejano ponds
