Beschreibung
Las Salinas de Fuencaliente, also called the Fuencaliente Saltpans, are located on the southern most part of the island of La Palma. The area contains multiple saltpans overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and is a very good spot for migrating waders and other waterbird species.
The first four saltpans, when walking the circular route around the saltpans, are the most interesting for birds. Most common and numerous are waders like Steinwälzer, Sandregenpfeifer and Alpenstrandläufer. Other waders that can be found here are Sichelstrandläufer, Zwergstrandläufer, Regenbrachvogel, Pfuhlschnepfe and many more.
Besides waders, other waterbird species like herons and Löffler visit the area while migrating fatten up. Sometimes, even Rosaflamingo can be seen!
The surrounding land area contains small scrubs and scattered bushes with rocky patches of solidified lava. Here, species like Samtkopf-Grasmücke , Brillengrasmücke and Kanarenzilpzalp can be found. The open parts are a good spot for Kanarenpieper.
Walking the circular route, you come across some perfect viewing points over the Atlantic Ocean. You can find large flocks of Gelbschnabelsturmtaucher and Mittelmeermöwe.
