Description
The picturesque, mountainous west coast of Elba, surrounded by the Tyrrhenian Sea to the north, west and south, is not only a magnet for many resting birds on the spring and autumn migration. You can also find endemic breeding birds there, whose distribution is limited to a few islands or coastlines, such as Puffin yelkouan, Puffin de Scopoli, Goéland d'Audouin, Venturon corse and Fauvette sarde.
Above the coast there are many paths running parallel to the main road through the open, stony scrub, some of which are marked on the map. Breeding birds here are Perdrix rouge, Martinet à ventre blanc, Grand Corbeau, Monticole bleu, Fauvette mélanocéphale, Fauvette pitchou, Fauvette de Moltoni, Linotte mélodieuse, Serin cini, Chardonneret élégant, Venturon corse, Bruant zizi and many more. Fauvette sarde can also be encountered, especially at higher altitudes. In the higher vegetated areas Rossignol philomèle, Gobemouche gris and Roitelet triple-bandeau occur.
Looking to the sea, you can see Puffin de Scopoli and Puffin yelkouan migrating and hunting off the coast, especially in the morning and evening hours. Goéland d'Audouin and Cormoran huppé can be seen as well. In the winter months watch out for Fou de Bassan .
The most attractive migrating birds in spring and autumn include Circaète Jean-le-Blanc, Milan noir, Bondrée apivore, Busard des roseaux, Faucon d'Éléonore , Faucon hobereau, Guêpier d'Europe, Huppe fasciée, Torcol fourmilier, Tourterelle des bois, Pouillot siffleur, Fauvette grisette, Fauvette passerinette, Traquet motteux, Tarier des prés, Rougequeue à front blanc, Gobemouche noir and Gobemouche à collier. Many of the songbirds like to rest in orchards and vineyards, which are mainly found near the villages.
