Puerto De La Cruz Tenerife

The mountainous landscape teeters down to the shoreline rich in evidence of  Volcanic activity probably dating back to the time when Little Richard stung em with Tutti Frutti (a lop bama luma a lop bam boom! 😅).

Jet black rocks and sand also fortunately a couple of Blackbirds. As expected it’s not exactly throwing birds down and I don’t anticipate getting a bucket 🪣 full in the coming days. However I was able to get very satisfactory photos of an almost confiding Whimbrel and a Little Egret that flew down and rooted itself to the same rock for some 80
Minutes.

I got extremely lucky when a small warbler flew into some branches about a yard above my bonce and despite it doing the jitterbug searching for insects I could plainly diagnose as Western Bonellis Warbler. 😜.

Collared Doves are widespread and I managed 3/4 small parties of singing Serin. Good to see 6/7 adult YLG.
No photos published until I return to the land of wind rain and cold.
