Hi Mark and Peter,
thanks for the info. Was planning to go up to Corralejo so will check it out.
Cheers Dave Phillips

There is already a thread for Fuerteventura, which may answer some questions. Try the search engine.

Hi Dave - I was there for a week in November 2005, staying in Corralejo at the northern tip of the island. Family holiday so it was half an hour birding here, half an hour there.

Standard fayre around - Little Egret, Ringed Plover, Sanderling, Purple Sandpiper, Green Sandpiper, Commoin Sandpiper, Turnstone, Whimbrel and so on.

Berthelot's Pipit appeared to be common enough and easy to see. Best bird for me was a Cream Coloured Courser seen in a sandy/stoney area 2km north of El Cotillo in the north west of the island if my memory serves me.

It is possible to get the ferry over to Lanzarote where Barbary Partridge can be seen on the edge of the golf course at Coste Teguise, with Stone Curlew, Houbara Bustard and Lesser Short Toed Lark possible on Teguise Plain.
Cheers

Mark

Hi all, Going to Caleta de Fuesta also known as Costa Caleta on Fuertventura at the end of September. Just wondered have any members any experience of birding locations and possible species likely to be seen. Cheers Dave Phillips.
