July holiday
First posting for a while. We've been on holiday to Tenerife and had a great relaxing time. Managed to do a little birding, catching up with Blue Chaffinch and both Laurel and Bolle's Pigeon. Will add the best pictures to the galleries. Photographed a dragonfly and a few butterflies but haven't identified what they are yet.
We stayed at La Quinta Park, Santa Ursula, which was about 7km from Puerto de la Cruz. Trips out and about included:
- a drive up to Teide and then down to the Las Lajas picnic site
- a visit to the Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz
- a drive into the Anaga as far as Pico Del Ingles
We found Puerto a more interesting town than the resorts we've visited in the south before. The plaza's are loverly place to sit and watch the world go by. They even turn up interesting birds - a Monk Parakeet appeared when we were enjoying a cooling drink.
The picture below, of La Quinta Park, was taken from Puerto de la Cruz using the digital end of the zoom on my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7. Not bad considering it's 7km away!
