Mirador de La Carbonera

La Gomera  >  Spain

Already described in Clarke & Collins, this is a good place to look for pigeons, especially Голуб лавровий. The good point, there is some shade in summer.

Description

Mirador de La Carbonera is a good place for Голуб лавровий. You can walk up from Hermigua, but best is to just park near the old bar (only very few possibilities to park, fenced off). Just sit on the former "veranda" of the run-down caffee/bar and watch out for the pigeons flying out of, or into the forest (facing the hill slopes). Sometimes, pigeons can be heard calling or making flight noise during starting off.

_________________________

Español: Buen sitio para ver Голуб лавровий. Se puede subir caminando desde Hermigua, pero lo mejor es aparcar cerca del antiguo bar (hay muy poco aparcamiento, está vallado). Sentado en la antigua terraza del destartalado bar-cafetería puedes observar las palomas saliendo y entrando en el bosque (mirando hacia las laderas). A veces, se oyen palomas cantando o aleteando al inicio del recorrido.
