Description
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 Tournepierre à collier, Grand Gravelot and Bécasseau variable. Other waders that can be found here are Bécasseau cocorli, Bécasseau minute, Courlis corlieu, Barge rousse and many more.
Besides waders, other waterbird species like herons and Spatule blanche visit the area while migrating fatten up. Sometimes, even Flamant rose can be seen!
The surrounding land area contains small scrubs and scattered bushes with rocky patches of solidified lava. Here, species like Fauvette mélanocéphale , Fauvette à lunettes and Pouillot des Canaries can be found. The open parts are a good spot for Pipit de Berthelot.
Walking the circular route, you come across some perfect viewing points over the Atlantic Ocean. You can find large flocks of Puffin cendré and Goéland leucophée.
