Description
The Parque Princesa Sofía is an urban park in the town of La Línea de la Concepción. It's located in the Strait of Gibraltar area, one of the best birding places of Spain and Europe, specially during migration periods. This park attracts, surprisingly, lots of passerines or songbirds of many species. One of the advantages is that these birds are much more easy to find, see, and even to photograph, than in other places. Moreover, with westernly winds, you can also see lots of soaring birds.
Until the end of 2019 around 120 species have been seen. The best dates are, of course depending on the species, from mid March to mid May in spring, and september and october in autum. Some of the species you can find in good numbers are: migrant Huppe fasciée, Pie-grièche à tête rousse, Pouillot de Bonelli, Pouillot fitis, Fauvette orphée, Fauvette passerinette, Gobemouche gris, Gobemouche noir, Rougequeue à front blanc, Tarier des prés, Pipit des arbres and Bruant ortolan. Wintering Pouillot véloce, Pipit farlouse and Rougequeue noir. Resident Étourneau unicolore and Fauvette mélanocéphale. Among the rarities, we have had: Pouillot à grands sourcils (anually in october), Étourneau roselin, Bruant nain, Pipit à dos olive, Fauvette babillarde and Moineau doré.
In Facebook, look for the group "Fauna del Parque Princesa Sofía de La Línea", in "Files" you can download a PDF with the complete list of birds.
