Portugal is the westernmost part of continental Europe, and Wild Wonders missions focussed on its wild coasts and far-flung archipelagos. Local photographer Luis Quinta photographed the unique cliff-nesting white storks of Cabo Sardao on the Alentejo coast. Nuno Sa, also from Portugal, documented the endangered Mediterranean monk seals of Desertas Islands, Madeira, 1000 km to the west, while Milan Radisics focussed on Madeiran landscapes and flora. A further 800 km to the west, Magnus Lundgren visited the Azores to showcase - from above water and below - one of the most spectacular whale- and dolphin-watching locations in the world.
