Descripción
In Burwick a narrow track follows the coastline and permits good observation of breading seabirds (Cormorán Moñudo , Frailecillo Atlántico, Arao Común , Fulmar Boreal ) and flying Great Skuas ( Págalo Grande searching for prey at the cliffs). The permanent songs of the seabirds together with calls of different charradriiformes ( Zarapito Real, Ostrero Euroasiático) from the adjacent pastures create a special atmosphere.
