Formentor Peninsular

Further reading
Long before Mallorca was discovered by the tourist industry, it was a haven for air travellers; not holidaymakers, but birds, attracted there on their migration by the gleam of water in the marshes, the shelter of the woods and the thermal boost of the mountains.
John Busby, one of Europe's foremost artist/naturalists, has been drawing and painting the birds and landscapes of Mallorca since 1981, and this book is a personal record of the rich variety of wildlife which he found there.
A sheer joy to admire for the breathtaking quality of the artwork, the book will also be an invaluable travelling companion for the holiday visitor, birder or naturalist alike, and will hopefully entice them to venture further into the countryside of the 'real' Mallorca.

Birds of the Balearics.
David A Bannerman and W Mary Bannerman Illustrated By Donald Watson.
The Balearics are a group of islands situated in the north-west Mediterranean,of which the most interesting to ornithologists is undoubtedly Mallorca,although the birdlife of the other,smaller,islands of Menorca,Ibiza,Formentera,Cabrera,Dragonera and Conejera is keenly observed.Together the islands form a fascinating area for the study of birds.There are of course a great many resident species of interest;but this number is greatly increased in Spring and Autumn by the many migrants making their way to Northern Europe from Africa and then returning.Despite the continuing attentions of resident and visiting birdwatchers,no definitive account of the birdlife of the Balearic islands has yet appeared in English.It was to rectify this omission that Dr David Bannerman began his studies on the islands in the late 1970's.
