Our last stop on 30th March was the seaside resort of Morro Jable, on the south coast of the island. We parked on the outskirts of the resort, by the old abandoned zoo, where we were able to see a couple of the island's more exotic species; Hadada Ibis and Monk Parakeet.

Other birds seen on a walk around the beach and lighthouse were: Cattle Egret (adult and juveniles), Plain Swift (2 over), Spectacled Warbler (our only sighting!), House Martin (2 over), Yellow-legged Gull, Goldfinch and our first Great Grey Shrike (ssp koenigi).
