Descrição
During winter most sea birds except for the overwintering gulls and terns leave the Canary Islands. Interestingly the Painho-da-ilha-da-madeira / Roquinho breeds in the archipelago during winter, but on inaccessible rocky islands. If you are lucky it can be seen flying out at sea looking for food. In early november it is still possible to find Bobo-grande and Pintainho. During spring and summer these birds can be found regularly as well as others like Painho de Wilson, Pardela-sombria and Alma-negra
Gulls and terns that can be found are Gaivota-de-patas-amarelas, gaivota-da-asa-escura, Garajau-comum and occasionly Gaivota de Audouin and Gaivota-de-cabeça-preta
Detalhes
Acesso
The waters around Gran Canaria can of course only be visited by boat. If you don't have a boat or a friend with a boat the best way to explore this locality is either by ferry to another island or by dolphin tour. Some sea birds like Bobo-grande follow dolphin pods in hopes of getting some food. Different tours depart from the harbour of Puerto Rico. See links to operators below.
