Friday, March 2, 2007 - JANUARY 2007 LANZAROTE REPORT
by Francisco Javier García Vargas
This month, the most remarkable was the female Lesser Scaup at Janubio salt pans (a special photopage of the bird can be seen here), and the arrival of a Black-necked Grebe at the same place. About other scarce migrants, the highlight was a Black Kite near San Bartolomé, seen by Juan Sagardía on 11/I (the first for our personal Lanzarote list), Arctic Skua (a dark morph bird seen at Arrecife by Juan Sagardía on 10/I), the European Golden Plover remained at Arrecife, a Black-tailed Godwit at Janubio and some Stonechats (1 at Arrecife, 2 at Guatiza and 1 at Yaiza).
