Cap Blanc

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 Короткоклювый хохлатый жаворонок. And check the fences that are often used as a lookout by Полевой конёк. In the dense vegetation you can find birds like Балеарская славка, Средиземноморская славка, Удод, Черноголовый чекан and Каменка. Also Авдотка and Красная куропатка breed in this area. In the forest parts you can find Клёст-еловик.

On the lower parts of the cliffs you can see Хохлатый баклан. In front of the cliffs Средиземноморская чайка and Чайка Одуэна regularly fly by. On the upper parts of the cliffs Каменный воробей make their nests (but they can be hard to see). On the upper cliffs you often have a better chance to see Синий каменный дрозд or Сапсан. Watching over the sea you can spot Средиземноморский буревестник (подвид diomedea), Обыкновенный буревестник and Северная олуша, but most of the time you need a spotting scope to see these sea birds, because they are often far out on sea.
