Every birder wants to go to Corsica to see Corsican Nuthatch but it is also the best place to see Marmora’s Warbler, Moltoni’s Warbler and Corsican Finch. Other special birds there include Lammergeier, Audouin’s Gull, Yelkouan Shearwater and California Quail. And did you know that it’s also one of the best places in western Europe to see Pallid Harrier?
Dave Gosney writes:
‘‘When I arrived in Corsica in April 2022 I quickly realised that most of what I thought I knew about its birds was wrong. Published ‘sites‘ for some species turned out to be quite useless and other species that I thought would be easy to find are actually rather scarce and difficult. Some have pretty much gone completely. So, my book will give you a much more accurate idea of just how likely you are to find each bird. Including passage birds, I notched up lots of species that are rarely mentioned in the trip reports of others, including Great Bittern, Little Bittern, Night Heron, Black Kite, Booted Eagle, Red-footed Falcon, Lesser Kestrel, Temminck’s Stint, Pomarine Skua, Mediterranean Gull, Barn Owl, Roller, Red-rumped Swallow, Red-throated Pipit, Bluethroat, Sedge, Great Reed, Icterine, Garden, Bonelli’s and Wood Warblers, Collared Flycatcher and Rock Sparrow. Of course the book tells you where I found all those species as well as giving key information on the best places to find the special breeding birds mentioned above.”
