Description
The Natural Park of Ses Salines in the south of Ibiza is a great place for birdwatching. The salt production activity carried out in this area for hundreds of years has formed a unique landscape, a wetland where plenty of birds nest or stop during their migrations. Up to 210 species pass through Ses Salines each year. The lagoons west of Sant Francesc de S'Estany are one of the best areas for birding in Ses Salines. Very often close views of Rózsás flamingó and Gólyatöcs. A visit is easy to combine with the salt lagoons of Sal Rossa on the other side of the road (also described on Birdingplaces).
Depending on the water levels in the different lagoons and pools you can see other bird species such as Széki lile, Kis kócsag, Bütykös ásólúd, Korallsirály, Vadgerle, sárga billegető, cigánycsuk, baleári poszáta, Bujkáló poszáta, Kucsmás poszáta, Szuharbújó, vörösfejű gébics, Halászsas and Szürke cankó.
