Though weather has not been proper for birdwatching, here are the highlights for the starting of the vagrant birds season:
1st of March 2010 at Porto da Cruz
1 Booted Eagle Aquila pennata - light morph or juvenile
22nd February 2010 at São Vicente
1 Hudsonian Whimbrel Numenius (phaeopus) hudsonicus - together with 2 Eurasian Whimbrels
Winds have been blowing strongly from west and southwest so we believe the sightings of vagrant birds will increase in the following days...
