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...
