Description

Bajo Negro is located near several biotopes. The first one is the sea. At sea here you will find Gümüş martı and rarely Karasırtlı Martı. If you are lucky, also Sümsükkuþu or Atlantik boz yelkovani. Another setting is the beach. You can easily see Ak kumkuşu. If you continue further, you will reach the dunes. In the desert area inland the Berberi Kekliği is found, Çorak toygarı and Kanarya Adası incirkuşu.

During a visit or two in November 2021 I saw Kocagöz, Bozkır örümcekkuşu, Bozkır Ötleğeni in the desert area and on the beach Kaşıkçı, Kıyı çamurçulluğu, Akça cılıbıt, Gümüş yağmurcun as well as other mentioned species. The north end of Corralejo is worth exploring too. Küçük Alamecek quite common here.

Hello Dave, congratulations on a beautiful observation. I have seen some of the species you mentioned, such as Kıyı çamurçulluğu or Kaşıkçı in Corralejo. But I didn't come across Kocagöz here at all. However, I was only here for 10 days in February 2022 and I know I didn't see a lot of species (like the Yakalı toy that was reported here). Someone even saw a Sümsükkuþu here. Thank you for your response. Michal.
