Descrição

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 Cotovia-montesina. And check the fences that are often used as a lookout by Petinha-dos-campos. In the dense vegetation you can find birds like Balearic Warbler, Toutinegra-de-cabeça-preta, Poupa, Cartaxo-comum and Chasco-cinzento. Also Alcaravão and Perdiz-comum breed in this area. In the forest parts you can find Cruza-bico-comum.

On the lower parts of the cliffs you can see Corvo-marinho-de-crista. In front of the cliffs Gaivota-de-patas-amarelas and Gaivota de Audouin regularly fly by. On the upper parts of the cliffs Pardal-francês make their nests (but they can be hard to see). On the upper cliffs you often have a better chance to see Melro-azul or falcão-peregrino. Watching over the sea you can spot Cagarra-do-mediterrânico, Pardela do Mediterrâneo and Ganso-patola, but most of the time you need a spotting scope to see these sea birds, because they are often far out on sea.
