    Lanzarote Costa Teguise birding

    Well... you get the chat in Fuerteventura, but apart from that Lanzarote is not behind. It is a smaller island, which makes it easier to move around.

    Canary Islands - Car Hire

    Hi Pete, I would recommend Cicar (www.cicar.com) Offices all over the Canary Islands, good prices, insurance included... I always hire there when travelling to other islands. Enjoy your stay around here!

    Gran Canaria seabirds, February

    Hi Nick, I hope it is not too late... I have just read your message. Regarding the gulls, Las Palmas harbour is a good place, and so is Taliarte (small) harbour. I will send you a PM now with more details. Regards

    Gran Canaria seabirds, February

    Cory´s are still in very low numbers, and so are bulwers. Little shearwaters should be around then. Gran Canaria - Tenerife might be an option, but chances are low. All the best

    Birding in Asturias

    Hi Mark, Villaviciosa is a nice nature reserve. As you guessed, July is not the best time to look for birds... Anyway, take a look here and here (sorry, in Spanish). Hope this helps.

    Wheatear - Spain

    Hi! First of all, thanks a lot for all your enlightening comments. We saw the bird perched and just managed to get four or five pictures each. It flew briefly when a couple of bikers passed by. Then it dissapeared. No chance of checking the tail. We didn´t even think about the desert...
