Beschrijving
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 Thekla's Leeuwerik. And check the fences that are often used as a lookout by Duinpieper. In the dense vegetation you can find birds like Balearische Grasmus, Kleine Zwartkop, Hop, Roodborsttapuit and Tapuit. Also Griel and Rode Patrijs breed in this area. In the forest parts you can find Kruisbek.
On the lower parts of the cliffs you can see Kuifaalscholver. In front of the cliffs Geelpootmeeuw and Audouins Meeuw regularly fly by. On the upper parts of the cliffs Rotsmus make their nests (but they can be hard to see). On the upper cliffs you often have a better chance to see Blauwe Rotslijster or Slechtvalk. Watching over the sea you can spot Scopoli's Pijlstormvogel, Vale Pijlstormvogel and Jan-van-gent, but most of the time you need a spotting scope to see these sea birds, because they are often far out on sea.
