Son Bosc, a former fossil dune area south of Albufera, hosts Stone-curlew, Thekla’s lark, Tawny pipit, Red-legged partridge, etc.
In spring, Son Bosc is adorned with numerous flowers and many species of orchids bloom, including the rare Anacamptis robusta, the bug, mirror, bumblebee, small-flowered tongue and bee orchids; and the unique Anacamptis x albuferensis, a hybrid between A. robusta and A. coriophora only known from this area.
Stone-curlew, Thekla’s lark, Tawny pipit, Red-legged partridge, etc. In spring and early summer Bee-eaters, Woodchat shrike and Turtle dove breed in the area and in June flocks of Eleonora’s falcons can be seen feeding on beetles and other invertebrates.
