Description

The Natural Park of Ses Salines in the south of Ibiza is a great place for birdwatching. The Natural Park is famous for its salt lagoons (the lagoons of Sal Rossa, Sant Francesc de S'Estany and Estany des Cavallet are all described on Birdingplaces). But this part of the park is totally different with open sea, small rocky islets, a rocky shore and a long sandy beach and a forest of pines mixed with mediterranean shrubs. Punta de Ses Portes is not as rich in birds as the lagoons but still nice to explore for birding and a very beautiful circular walk of 4 km. Among the birds you can see are kormorán chocholatý, buřňák baleárský, Buřňák šedý (ssp. diomedea), rybák severní, chaluha velká, kulík mořský, racek Audouinův, pěnice baleárská, pěnice bělohrdlá, lejsek šedý, zvonohlík zahradní, and konopka obecná.
