Monday, November 3, 2008 - THE YELLOW-BROWED WARBLER AT UGA, LANZAROTE

by Francisco Javier García Vargas

In the evening of 02/XI/2008, I detected a little warbler in a garden inside a property at the village of Uga, south of Lanzarote. I could confirm that it was a Yellow-browed Warbler, but I could not take photographs of the bird because the light was very poor. I went to Uga again in the morning of 03/XI and the bird was at the same place. Taking photos of this bird was very difficult because I was behind a wooden fence. This is our second record of Yellow-browed Warbler at Lanzarote, after the bird seen at Puerto del Carmen on February 2008 (there is photopage of this bird here).

 The bird was still present on 04/XI when I went there with Antonio Unquiles and our good friend Juan José Ramos Melo (BIRDING CANARIAS), who came from Tenerife and twitched the Semipalmated Sandpiper and the Yellow-browed Warbler. We could obtain new pics of the bird.
