Descripción
This location can be particularly good in spring when migrant raptors crossing the strait can come in low giving good opportunities for photography. Parking is tricky and limited on the road by the lighthouse at Punta de Carnero so it's generally easier to continue into the small urbanisation to park. From the urbanisation a footpath runs to Torre de Fraile (c3.5 km) which can be good for migrating passerines.
In spring the main raptor passage extends from February to early May: Abejero Europeo: Late April – May (peak Early May); Milano Negro: Spring Feb - April (peak March); Alimoche Común: Spring Feb – May (peak late March); Buitre Leonado: Spring Feb – June (peak early May); Culebrera Europea: Spring Feb – May (peak early March); Águila calzada: Spring March – May (peak late March); Aguilucho Cenizo: Spring April- May (peak early April). Autumn can also be good but other nearby sites are generally better (see El Algarrabo for passage timings in autumn). Good views across the strait and towards Gibraltar mean seabirds (all year) are also a possibility - Alcatraz Atlántico, Pardela cenicienta, Págalo Grande and Gaviota de Audouin. In winter check the rocks for Correlimos Oscuro.
