    Hi all, I am going to spend a few days in Tenerife and possible La Gomera during next Xmas holydays. I am reading all the usual books (Garcia del Rey, Gosney, Clarke/Collins), but all the info available seem to be rather dated, and things probably deteriorated in last years. A part from Blue...

    Crested or Thekla?

    The picture was taken on mid-September at the parking area of the Playa de Los Lances, near Tarifa. There were certainly some "true" crested larks there, but this one seemed a bit darker and with a shorter beak. What's your opinion?
