Friday, March 7, 2008 - FEBRUARY 2008 LANZAROTE REPORT
by Francisco Javier García Vargas On February 2008, a very long awaited new species was added to our personal list: Yellow-browed Warbler (1 bird seen at Puerto del Carmen between 05 and 12/II/2008). There is a special photopage of the bird in this blog. About another rarities, Audouin´s Gulls were seen at Arrecife, with 5 birds (the highest number ever seen) on 03/II (3 ad. and 2 3rd. cal. year) and 1 bird (3rd. cal. year) on 24/02 and the 3 Water Pipits at Tías golf course, remaining there into March. About scarce migrants the most interesting was the presence of 2 Black-necked Grebes at Janubio until 13/II, the relocation of the Mallard at Arrecife on 24/II, Little Ringed Plovers at Tías golf course, European Golden Plover at Arrecife, Common Snipe in a farm at Famara plains, Red-throated Pipits at Tias golf course, Sand Martin and Red-rumped Swallow at Arrecife and Redwing at Costa Teguise. About breeding birds, the most remarkable was the arrival of the Cory´s Shearwaters and Cream-coloured Coursers nesting at Famara plains. FEBRUARY 2008 COMPLETE LIST
