I've just added a new tour to the Zoothera Birding website. This one is centred around a ferry that runs from Cadiz in southern Spain to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands and we're expecting some great seabirds for our Western Palearctic list. High up there is White-faced Storm-Petrel but there's going to be Bulwer's Petrel, Wilson's Storm-Petrel, Barolo Shearwater, Red-billed Tropicbird and i'm sending positive vibes out to the universe for something rarer. There's been some whacky seabirds in the northern hemisphere over the past few years so i'm hopeful.....
Either side of the ferry crossing, which takes roughly 30 hours, we will spend time looking for some extremely localised Western Palearctic species. In Andalucia we will target Scopoli's Shearwater, Ruppell's Griffon Vulture, and Little & White-rumped Swift amongst others. On Fuerteventura there's African Houbara & Canary Islands Stonechat and Gran Canaria Blue Chaffinch on..... Gran Canaria.
