The raptors that live
in the mountains of northwest Mallorca attract a lot
of attention from birders. The Serra de Tramuntana is
home to ospreys, red kites, Eleanora's falcons, kestrels,
peregrines, several species of eagles, and the rare black
vulture and you have a pretty good chance of spotting
one around Puig Massanella or in the Boquer valley near
Port de Pollenca. Seabirds, including shearwaters and
shags, can be seen nesting along the seacliffs of the
Cap de Formentor.
The S'Albufera wetlands are one of the premier birding
places in all of the Balearics. The resident species are
supplemented by hundreds of migrating birds, including
herons, egrets, flamingoes, and green sandpipers. On the
opposite side of Mallorca, check out the Salinas de Migjorn,
where waders and terns can be found. In both places, the
great number of prey species attracts raptors, including
marsh harriers, kestrels, and ospreys
