Balearic Shearwaters are one of the rarest birds in Europe and are one of the two bird species listed as Critically Endangered.
Owls
Barn Owl
Heart-shaped face and dark eyes belie a silent killer.
Black-Headed Gull
The title of Black-headed Gull is rather a misnomer for this bird as its head is not black but a dark brown colour and only in adult birds during the breeding season. It is not present during the winter months or in other plumages. Unlike many gulls it is not restricted to coastal regions and is widespread inland in both rural and urban areas.
