    I’ve had singles at Pájara on occasional Decembers in the past Owene and have heard of singles same month for Costa Calma and Caleta del Fuste. Presume anywhere with sufficient cover might attract overwintering birds on a regular basis given the right conditions.👍

    Prior to departure, I was of the opinion that this being my 19th visit and particularly on the back of what must have been my best ever year ‘23 It couldn’t continue and as such, I should hit the buffers this time. With our fastest flight time to date…3hrs 35 mins, plus a fast transfer from...
