On Saturday, the 21st of June 2008 it was a very warm day and on a Madeira Wind Birds full-day birdwatching despite some of the endemics usually seen on this nature tour there was a Peregrine Falcon on Ponta do Pargo. Though the Red-footed Falcons observed earlier that week where not seen on this tour...

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...
