Rate birdingplace Cap Blanc
Descrizione
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 Cappellaccia di Thekla. And check the fences that are often used as a lookout by Calandro. In the dense vegetation you can find birds like Magnanina balearica, Occhiocotto, Upupa, Saltimpalo and Culbianco. Also Occhione and Pernice rossa breed in this area. In the forest parts you can find Crociere comune.
On the lower parts of the cliffs you can see Marangone dal ciuffo. In front of the cliffs Gabbiano reale and Gabbiano corso regularly fly by. On the upper parts of the cliffs Passera lagia make their nests (but they can be hard to see). On the upper cliffs you often have a better chance to see Passero solitario or Falco pellegrino. Watching over the sea you can spot Berta maggiore mediterranea, Berta balearica and Sula, but most of the time you need a spotting scope to see these sea birds, because they are often far out on sea.

Very beautiful. Worth a trip for the hike alone, especially if you are with non birders.
In the Google reviews I see a lot of incidents with robbers/thieves. So be carefull and don't leave any valuables in your car!
We were here on September 25th, 2024. Beautiful hike, unfortunately not many birds. A few Saltimpalo, Culbianco and a Calandro in the low vegetation. There were also Gabbiano reale, Falco pellegrino and a Nibbio reale. Still worth it, great coastal scenery.
