Fuerteventura : 14th February 2015
Fuerteventura : 14th February 2015 We got 9am Armas ferry from Playa Blanca to Correlejo ( €95 Inc 10% discount for using the car hire firm). From Correlejo we drove down to the Antigua plain, specifically with the hope of seeing Black-bellied Sandgrouse at a location we got from Dave Gosney’s book “Finding Birds in the Canaries”. Specifically some “sand pits” which are actually artificial…

Lanzarote : 13th February 2015
Lanzarote : 13th February 2015 The 13th was a bit of a lazy day for us and, although we went to the lighthouse and a couple of other places around Playa Blanca mentioned by Gosney we didn’t see much. Our best views were of around a dozen Dolphins coming quite close in at the lighthouse. In the afternoon we made plans for a visit the…

Lanzarote : 12th February 2015
Lanzarote : 12th February 2015 On Thursday 12th February we headed up north with the idea of seeing some of the wild flowers growing there in profusion, particularly after the heavy rains of December.

Lanzarote : 11th February 2015 On the 11th of February we decided to retrace our steps at El Jable to see if we could find any of the desert birds we had seen a couple of days previously with our guide Carmen. I had made a GPS track of our day out and this enabled me to find the track off the main road just…

Lanzarote : 10th February 2015
Lanzarote : 10th February 2015 On the 10th February we spent the morning doing the Timanfaya tour which was as amazing as ever. Apart from a few Berthelot’s Pipits there wasn’t much bird action. We left there for a camel ride on the slopes of the volcano nearby but again only the roost of Rock Doves by the camel station gave us another tick, even…

Lanzarote : 9th February 2015
On our second day on Lanzarote we chilled out a bit and took advantage of the improved weather, even getting a bit of balcony sunbathing in. We did just squeeze in a walk down the promenade which gave us a view of four or five Turnstone on the rocks and a pair of diving Sandwich Terns. There were, of course, the ubiquitous Yellow legged Gulls

Lanzarote : 8th February 2015
We arrived on Lanzarote late afternoon of the 7th February and by the time we got to our hotel and settled in there was just time to find a restaurant, eat and get a fairly early night before our planned day of birding with Carmen from LanzaroteActiveClubs. The plan was to drive up to the El Jable desert near Soo looking for desert birds and…
