Description

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 Cochevis de Thékla. And check the fences that are often used as a lookout by Pipit rousseline. In the dense vegetation you can find birds like Fauvette des Baléares, Fauvette mélanocéphale, Huppe fasciée, Tarier pâtre and Traquet motteux. Also Oedicnème criard and Perdrix rouge breed in this area. In the forest parts you can find Bec-croisé des sapins.

On the lower parts of the cliffs you can see Cormoran huppé. In front of the cliffs Goéland leucophée and Goéland d'Audouin regularly fly by. On the upper parts of the cliffs Moineau soulcie make their nests (but they can be hard to see). On the upper cliffs you often have a better chance to see Monticole bleu or Faucon pèlerin. Watching over the sea you can spot Puffin de Scopoli, Puffin des Baléares and Fou de Bassan, but most of the time you need a spotting scope to see these sea birds, because they are often far out on sea.
