Descrizione
Las Salinas de Fuencaliente, also called the Fuencaliente Saltpans, are located on the southern most part of the island of La Palma. The area contains multiple saltpans overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and is a very good spot for migrating waders and other waterbird species.
The first four saltpans, when walking the circular route around the saltpans, are the most interesting for birds. Most common and numerous are waders like Voltapietre, Corriere grosso and Piovanello pancianera. Other waders that can be found here are Piovanello comune, Gambecchio comune, Chiurlo piccolo, Pittima minore and many more.
Besides waders, other waterbird species like herons and Spatola visit the area while migrating fatten up. Sometimes, even Fenicottero can be seen!
The surrounding land area contains small scrubs and scattered bushes with rocky patches of solidified lava. Here, species like Occhiocotto , Sterpazzola della Sardegna and Luì piccolo delle Canarie can be found. The open parts are a good spot for Pispola di Berthelot.
Walking the circular route, you come across some perfect viewing points over the Atlantic Ocean. You can find large flocks of Berta maggiore and Gabbiano reale.
