The arms are Argent a harrow Sable nailed Argent between two stone pines Vert fructed Or trunked and eradicated Sable, in chief an osprey volant Proper holding a fish Gules, in base two barrulets wavy Vert. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "BORDEIRA".
Meaning:
Albeit blazoned proper, the osprey is shown as golden/brown in Sérgio Horta's image. The last surviving breeding pair of osprey in Portugal nested in Bordeira cliffs and went extinct in 1996. (Also the fish shows golden/brown in Sérgio Horta's image, instead of red. I dont know if he was distracted the day he draw this, or, more likely, the authoritative image he took the colouring from disagrees with the text.)

Flag and arms adopted and published in the official journal Diário da República: III Série on 26 February 1993
