Beskrivning

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 lagerlärka. And check the fences that are often used as a lookout by fältpiplärka. In the dense vegetation you can find birds like balearisk sångare, sammetshätta, Härfågel, svarthakad buskskvätta and stenskvätta. Also tjockfot and rödhöna breed in this area. In the forest parts you can find Mindre korsnäbb.

On the lower parts of the cliffs you can see toppskarv. In front of the cliffs medelhavstrut and rödnäbbad trut regularly fly by. On the upper parts of the cliffs stensparv make their nests (but they can be hard to see). On the upper cliffs you often have a better chance to see blåtrast or Pilgrimsfalk. Watching over the sea you can spot Scopolilira, balearisk lira and havssula, but most of the time you need a spotting scope to see these sea birds, because they are often far out on sea.
