Eerie Terceira

Pretty much relived yesterday today, the quarry had almost exactly the same birds in it plus a Greenshank and several of the inland sites were totally devoid of birds. Did manage to add Collared Dove and Curlew to my Azores list at Praia Port (the whoops of joy could be heard clean to Sao Miguel) and, whilst touring various coastal localities, we rounded up Common Scoter, Sandwich Tern (two more Azores ticks), a dose of Short-beaked Common Dolphins and a few Madeiran Wall Lizards ('category C' on here, introduced to the islands, presumably accidentally, some while back).

Two facets of gulling on Terceira, the port of Praia complete with a young lab helper...


And the tip,...
