Go to El Jable (also known as Teguise) plain in car for good chance of Houbara Bustards and Cream coloured Coursers.
Go to Haria for African Blue Tit and Canary.
Various viewpoints for Cory's Shearwater and possible Bulwer's Petrel (try day ferry from Playa Blanca to Fuerteventura).
Barbary Falcon another good bird you should see. Try viewpoint in extreme north-west (place name escapes me).
I did a detailed report "Mad Blogs and Englishmen" which you might find in Vacational Trip Reports if you type that in. Plenty of other Lanzarote reports too.
There is a golf course you may see Barbary Partridge at.
El Rubicon plain that I detailed (near Playa Blanca) was much poorer when I returned this June, no coursers but still had Bustards.
Lanzarote is easily doable in one day - eg to Teguise, Haria, and you can slyly get a bit of birding on other days when you join the family on a day trip across to Fuerteventura if you are at Playa Blanca, and you will undoubtedly go to the volcano - its a must. Nearby is a camel ride and around there are Bertholots Pipits (infact they are everywhere on island), and maybe Trumpeter Finches.
The grey shrikes you may see are debateably Desert Grey Shrikes.
