A trip report from Porto Santo, from last week of April 2008, was kindly sent to Madeira Wind Birds by Riccardo Del Togno from Italy:

"I was on holiday with my wife and my little son, so I could not make a deep complete birdwatching as I would have liked to. Unfortunately I did not take photos, only observations.

I rent a car for one day only, and made a complete tour of Porto Santo and could see some birds. Some others I have seen near the hotel place in Vila Baleira.

Please find here below the list of the birds I have seen:

Two more days of birdwatching and some more species of vagrant birds recorded...
