Beschrijving
There are a lot of good places on Fuerteventura to see the classic birds; Westelijke Kraagtrap, Renvogel, Zwartbuikzandhoen but few of them are laying in close distance of a (small but still ) tourist resort as El Cotillo. A perfect place to spend holidays if you have to combine; beaches, no car, good restaurants and some nice birds.
The area is very flat but with some low hights, these are recomended to be used thoroughly. Spending some hours on one of these will show to be rewarding, especially for the Westelijke Kraagtrap.
Leaving from El Cotillo Westelijke Kraagtrap and Griel can be seen, later down the trail Kleine Kortteenleeuwerik, Zwartbuikzandhoen and Renvogel, in the Barranco Esquinzo Canarische Roodborsttapuit, Brilgrasmus, Barbarijse Patrijs can be seen. During the whole trip Barbarijse valk , Raaf, Aasgier and Berthelots Pieper can be seen.

If your not going by car its recommended to rent a bike in El Cotillo, leave some hours before the sun rise to reach the "observation hight" before dawn, and then wait, Westelijke Kraagtrap can be seen S and N of the observation hight, with an inclination to E.
Later continue south towards the barranco, all the birds can be seen during the way but the "height" is the best sport for getting a propper view of the area.
It is possible to do a circular trail by following the barranco E and then turn N follwing the E side of the mountain range and in the end cross it W to get back to El Cotillo, though this didn't give any more birds than seen before.
