Lanzarote (Canary Islands) 18th August – 1st September 2011

Lanzarote 19th
Oct - 2nd Nov. 2005
- I have just returned from a 2 week
family holiday to Lanzarote with my wife and 2 young daughters.
I squeezed in as much birding whenever I could without trying
to upset anyone. This involved taking the binoculars everywhere
during daylight hours....John Armstrong reports.
Lanzarote
January 20 – February 3rd 2005
- It isn't often you get the chance to watch
six male Houbara Bustards displaying in one day, or see large
flocks of Lesser Short-toed Larks and Trumpeter Finches at the
same site....Allan Rimmer reports
Lanzarote 9th
- 23rd December 2004
- The 17th of December, when the wind blew
from the east, for the only day of the holiday, will live long
in the memory as a couple of Barbary Falcon, a pair of Ruddy Shelduck
and a Grey Phalarope were all observed at close quarters!....David
Tattersley reports
Birding Lanzarote
18th -25th November 2004
- Nine Houbara Bustards, a Great Spotted Cuckoo
and 77 Berthalot's Pipits were some of the birding highlights
of a week spent on Lanzarote in November 2004...Alan Miller
reports
Lanzarote and
Fuerteventura February 2004
- el Jable was fantastic. We had our first
Houbara within 10 minutes...They obviously like the bustard-sized
spiny tussocks that cover parts of el Jable, because they dodge
between them, head down, for cover..David Tomlinson reports.
Lanzarote
December 2002
- 4 Houbara Bustard (Including one displaying
male). On my second visit I found three. Generally I found them
relatively easy to see. Once you had located the first one inevitably
another would follow shortly! The best areas were at the northern
end of the plain just south of the Teguise/Yaiza road near the
cement factory...David Tattersley reports.
Lanzarote
16 to 23 October 2002
- This Autumn trip was to Costa Teguise in
Lanzarote, it was a fairly quiet trip, birding-wise. I don't know
whether we were just unlucky or whether Lanzarote is not at its
best at this time of year. Certainly, you would not go there for
the birds!...Bob Biggs reports
Lanzarote
and Fuerteventura 31st Jan - 7th Feb
2002
- We did see a Barbary Falcon rise up with
prey – a bird looking very like a Cream-coloured Courser!
Later we saw the falcon plucking and eating its catch. Berthelot’s
Pipits were everywhere, as they are all over the island.....Terry
and Brian Warhurst report.
Lanzarote Feb
2001
- The north of the island is more vegetated
and more mountainous than the south, including some impressive
sea cliffs, and supports a greater range of birds although perhaps
a lesser chance of seeing the Canary Islands' desert specialities.
The cliffs feature some spectacular species such as Egyptian Vultures,
a pair of which we observed from close range at the top of the
cliffs near Haria....Chris Stamp reports
Lanzarote 12-25
Dec.2000
- The next day we visited the northern part
of the island and looked forward to seeing the Barbary Partrigde
for the first time. They are easy to see at and around the golf
course, and in a short while we saw nearly 100. Unfortunately
we didnt look for Stone-Curlews, which are also here - close to
the parking lot. But we saw a juvenile Egyptian vulture being
chased by a Kestrel...Jan Landsverk reports
