Description

Punta del Hidalgo is located on the northeast coast of the island of Tenerife. The rocky shore is dominated by a postmodern lighthouse. During migration you can find many shorebirds on the rocks along the beach. For example Sürmeli kervançulluğu, Ak kumkuşu, Tasçeviren, Gümüş yağmurcun, Halkalı cılıbıt and Küçük ak balýkçýl. From a new bird hide with nice info panels on seabirds, you can look out over sea and try to spot birds like Atlantik boz yelkovani, Küçük Yelkovan, Sümsükkuþu, Gümüş martı and Atlantik Yelkovanı.
