Cap Blanc

Cap Blanc is one of the steepest cliffs on the Mallorcan coast, with the highest point of the cliff at about 90 meters above sea level. The egde of the cliff is dominated by the white lighthouse Far de Cap Blanc. The flat, wild and stony surface that occupies most of this area contrasts with the blue sea. In its garrigue landscape, on the sea and on the cliffs you can find many birds. In the open spaces you can see Theklalerche. And check the fences that are often used as a lookout by Brachpieper. In the dense vegetation you can find birds like Balearengrasmücke, Samtkopf-Grasmücke, Wiedehopf, Schwarzkehlchen and Steinschmätzer. Also Triel and Rothuhn breed in this area. In the forest parts you can find Fichtenkreuzschnabel.

On the lower parts of the cliffs you can see Krähenscharbe. In front of the cliffs Mittelmeermöwe and Korallenmöwe regularly fly by. On the upper parts of the cliffs Steinsperling make their nests (but they can be hard to see). On the upper cliffs you often have a better chance to see Blaumerle or Wanderfalke. Watching over the sea you can spot Sepiasturmtaucher, Balearensturmtaucher and Basstölpel, but most of the time you need a spotting scope to see these sea birds, because they are often far out on sea.
