Description

Punta de Teno is the western-most point on Tenerife and one of the better seawatching points on the north coast. Most of the time you can see Puffin cendré, quit often in large groups. Also sometimes Puffin de Macaronésie and Fou de Bassan. The spectacular cliffs of Los Gigantes around this part of the coast hold breeding Faucon de Barbarie and this is one of the few places on Tenerife where Balbuzard pêcheur is sometimes observed. Other birds you can see in the area are Fauvette à lunettes, Pipit de Berthelot, Grand Corbeau, Faucon crécerelle, Aigrette garzette, Tournepierre à collier and sometimes Moineau soulcie.
