Lanzarote and Fuerteventura Holiday Summary<\/h3>\n

I can’t really say that we were particularly organised for birding and we were certainly not organised enough but with the help of Carmen from “LanzaroteActiveClub” and a brief read of “Gosney” we were not completely without resources. We did manage to see most of our target birds and mixed a relaxing holiday with a little bit of birding that gave us thirty-eight birds, twelve of which were “lifers” and several of which were insular races, such as the Ravens and the Buzzards.<\/p>\n
