Hoopoe Upupa epops in Lanzarote

bird, LanzaroteBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 22, 20122 Comments

When visiting Lanzarote last year I was fortunate enough to see a Hoopoe, Upupa epops, on the grass lawn of a hotel in Costa Teguise. I took some photos and crept closer, then took so more and crept a bit close and so on. And it just stayed where it was feeding away. As I…

Common sandpiper and sandwich tern in Puerto del Carmen marina

bird, Lanzarote, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeSeptember 23, 2012Leave a comment

Some more Lanzarote photos, this time from Puerto del Carmen marina. On the rocks I spotted a common sandpiper. Collared doves were all over the island, but only a few posed for me. There was a sandwich tern hunting over the marina too.

Trumpeter finch (Rhodopechys githaginea) in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote

bird, finch, LanzaroteBy Neil-UKWildlifeSeptember 16, 2012Leave a comment

Last October I had a holiday in Lanzarote, where I saw lots of interesting wildlife, much of which posed for some photos. One species that took a bit of work to get a photo of was the trumpeter finch Rhodopechys githaginea. This species feeds on seeds and early some mornings could be found in small…

Black winged stilt and curlew sandpiper at Salinas del Janubio

bird, Lanzarote, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 13, 2012Leave a comment

A few more from Lanzarote. Having hired a car the second day of exploring lead us the Salinas del Janubio where the bird reports said black stilts occured, something I had never seen in the wild before. After a short walk along the coastal side of the lake I spotted some. With some careful stalking…

Spanish sparrows in Lanzarote

bird, LanzaroteBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 11, 20121 Comment

The recent story on the spanish sparrow in hampshire reminded me that I ahd some photos of the species on my hard drive. There were plenty in the towns in lanzarote where I took these photos. These photos were taken from the patio of the apartment we were staying at. They were often feeding on…

Greenshank in Puerto del Carmen

bird, Lanzarote, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 4, 20111 Comment

As some of you have probably gathered from my recent posts, the beach at Puerto del Carmen was pretty good for co-operative waders.  On one morning I found a greenshank, who I managed to creep just close enough to for some nice photos. I got some ‘in the habitat’ shots, which show the volcanic rocks.…

Stone Curlew on Lanzarote

LanzaroteBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 2, 20112 Comments

A quick photo, which sadly isn’t the best. When I was photographing the cattle egrets featured a couple of posts ago, I flushed a bird, which turned out to be a stone curlew, something I had always wanted to see. I was right near the Northern edge of Costa Teguise, which was a surprise as…

Berthelots pipit

In the same area as the cattle egrets, I came across these Berthelot’s pipits. And some more on a lawn near a hotel in Costa Teguise.

Cattle egret

bird, heron, LanzaroteBy Neil-UKWildlifeNovember 24, 20111 Comment

When I was in Lanzarote on the outskirts of Costa Teguise I finally got a good view of a couple of cattle egrets. They were hunting for grasshoppers in the dry stony habitat that dominates the island.

Sanderlings and turnstones

bird, Lanzarote, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeNovember 21, 2011Leave a comment

On the same morning as the last post I came across a number of sanderlings. I got a close up. And various angles I also saw some turnstones
