Description
Haria is a good place to search for birds of agricultural areas. It has quite some African Blue Tit. Look for Eurasian Collared Dove, Laughing Dove and African Collared Dove in the palm trees (or rather: listen). Eurasian Kestrel and Common Raven are most common raptors, but also check for others like Egyptian Vulture, Peregrine Falcon , Eleonora's Falcon. Also Berthelot's Pipit and Great Grey Shrike are common, while Spectacled Warbler, Linnet and Island Canary are less common but still easy to find. Yellow-legged Gull is seen frequently at the cliffs.

Access
Park somewhere in the village or at the mirador and walk along the farmroads. Some new buidlings are being build (including a school) which makes it difficult to do a circular trail. Also mind the very narrow streets.

Feedback by user Herbert Roehm:
"It is certainly possible to do a circular tour. Follow the C. Cesar Manrique road southwest for about 700m. In front of an iron gate, a path continues along the streambed to the Bosquecillo. When you reach a road again, turn right and after about 2km you will reach the Mirador. On March 7, 2025, a variety of songbirds could be heard in the gardens along the streambed. A Eurasian Kestrel was observed along the road to the Mirador."
