Having luckily escaped the pandemic (only 4 active cases in the Pajara region) I was just carrying my luggage across the lower pool area of the Royal Palm Resort at the Playa de Butihondo on Fuerteventura when I was surprised by 3 large birds that suddenly appeared overhead seemingly out of nowhere (probably flying in from the ocean) and then quickly disappeared out of sight to the west.
With my binoculars still in my backpack and my camera out of reach in its bag all I managed to do in that moment (apart from cursing) was to get out my little iPhone to take a silly snapshot.
(I will try to attach it. As it is a “Live”-shot you might be able to hear a bird-call and see a little movement.)
My first thought was: Northern Bald Ibis (Geronticus eremita) - after all the Moroccan coast is on the other side of the ocean ;-)
What do you see?
