Bird Watching advice Majorca - Cala d'Or area (1 Viewer)

[ChrisMc1957]

Hi Everyone,

We have visited a number of National Parks in the Alcudia and Tramontana mountains areas of Majorca over two trips last year. However, we are visiting for 10 days Cala d'Or in a weeks time and wondered if anyone had any advice on places to visit in the Cala d'Or area of Majorca for bird watching/wildlife. Happy to take taxis, buses or hire a car if required. We plan on hiring a car to visit Parc Natural de s'Albufera near Alcudia one day (an amazing nature reserve), but wondered if there was anything on our doorstep for a few hours or half day visits?

Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris
There is a thread for up-to-date news called Mallorca 2024.
All news goes on there.
I live next to Cala d’Or in Porto Petro so I’d be happy to meet and/or send details of where to go birding round here.
We have good seawatching nearby and Nightjars. Depends on what you fancy.
I will write again because I’m with visitors at the moment.
Speak soon.
Mike

Hi Mike

Thanks for your response. We are happy to see anything, (never seen a Nightjar) would be great to get some ideas of where is best and what we are likely to see in the local area if you have chance. We have been to Cala d'Or many times, but not for bird watching, so mixing that with some beach fun this trip. In the meantime, I will check out the Mallorca 2024 thread too.

Thanks
Chris

My phone number here is: 649 701208. That’s a Spanish mobile so I guess you need 0034 first.
Just let me know if you need any information about local birding.
I would be very happy to help or meet up.
