The autochthonous fauna of Formentera
As Rent a Car San Fernando has been doing in other articles of our Blog, wants to make known our beautiful island not only as a beach and gastronomic attraction but also as an attraction for nature lovers, in this case especially for birdwatchers and those interested in general in the native fauna of the island. Rent a Car San Fernando brings you closer to other magical corners of Formentera , you can visit Formentera in any month of the year and Rent a Car San Fernando , will be happy to give you the service of car rental and scooter rental. We could divide the wildlife into three main groups: marine species, terrestrial species and bird species. All of them are very well adapted to the island which allows a particular ecosystem within such a small island. Within the marine species there is a great variety of fish thanks to the crystal clear waters, posidonia and warm temperatures of the Mediterranean Sea practically all year round; many of these species such as: grouper, roten, roosterfish, bream, serranos, obladas, squid, octopus and and infinity of crustaceans and shellfish ... are highly valued in the market for their exquisite taste; but along with these species there are many more that are protected or are less known but also inhabit our waters such as seahorses, turtles, dolphins, swordfish, puffer fish, sea urchins, ... all together make a beautiful seascape especially for those who like to dive. Going for a walk, either on foot or by bicycle, in the vicinity of the Estany Pudent we can appreciate as normal about 40 different species of birds, as this area has excellent conditions for the natural habitat of many of them, some migratory, such as the well-known flamingos and herons coexisting with other species due to their sociability, but together with other very common migratory species such as swallows or sparrows, which come to nest looking for warm and quiet areas away from crowded or polluted areas and others fleeing the cold of northern Europe, rest a few weeks and look for food before flying to areas of Africa where they spend the winter. And in our fields and forests it is also very common to find quails, starlings, partridges, ... and birds of prey such as owls and other small eagle species. Other species such as gulls, the almost extinct and protected "virots" would belong to those that usually inhabit the areas of rocks and rocks in the coastal area where they nest and where they usually feed on marine species that they themselves fish. The third group is made up of terrestrial species such as rabbits, hedgehogs, rats and dormice, spiders and insects (very common at the end of summer when the first rains fall, they can really become a very annoying plague) and of course the icon of the island, the lizard, a small reptile with a very intense green color similar to the bottom of our waters. This species is protected because it is no longer found almost anywhere else in the world, only on this island along with that of Espalmador. To get to know it, you will have to visit Formentera, for which Rent a Car San Fernando is more than willing to help you as well as to plan a vacation with direct contact with our nature.
