Hi all,
I’m thinking about a trip to the Eastern Canaries this winter. My principal targets in approx order of importance are:-
Fuerteventura Chat
Houbara
Blue Tit
Barn Owl
Barbary Partridge
Black-bellied Sandgrouse
I am wondering whether to spend all my time on FV, or stay on LZ but day trip (or overnight) FV (or even do the opposite).
Does anyone have any thoughts or experience of these strategies? Obviously the chat (and sandgrouse?) are only on FV but I get the impression Houbara and barn owl are easier on LZ (although the owl is still v difficult).
Any opinions, or recent gen for these 6 spp much appreciated. I’d particularly appreciate reassurance that Houbara are relatively straightforward on FV!!
Cheers
James
