Rate birdingplace Bajo Negro
Description
Bajo Negro is located near several biotopes. The first one is the sea. At sea here you will find Yellow-legged Gull and rarely Lesser Black-backed Gull. If you are lucky, also Northern Gannet or Cory's Shearwater. Another setting is the beach. You can easily see Sanderling. If you continue further, you will reach the dunes. In the desert area inland the Barbary Partridge is found, Lesser Short-toed Lark and Berthelot's Pipit.

During a visit or two in November 2021 I saw Stone-curlew, Iberian Grey Shrike, Spectacled Warbler in the desert area and on the beach Eurasian Spoonbill, Bar-tailed Godwit, Kentish Plover, Grey Plover as well as other mentioned species. The north end of Corralejo is worth exploring too. Trumpeter Finch quite common here.
Hello Dave, congratulations on a beautiful observation. I have seen some of the species you mentioned, such as Bar-tailed Godwit or Eurasian Spoonbill in Corralejo. But I didn't come across Stone-curlew here at all. However, I was only here for 10 days in February 2022 and I know I didn't see a lot of species (like the Houbara Bustard that was reported here). Someone even saw a Northern Gannet here. Thank you for your response. Michal.
