La Cuesta, west from S/C. Most abundant species were Cough, Feral Pigeon and Canary Islands Chiffchaff. Kestlers (subspecies canariensis) were also very common on this habitat (with some occasional Plain Swift flocks).

Los Cancajos tourist area and beach. Canaries, Canary Island Chifchaffs, Spanish Sparrows and Yellow-Legged Gulls were common. Occasionally there were Ruddy Turnstones and Common Ringed Plovers on the beach.

Refugio El Pilar. A popular recrerational area at about 1500 meters. Few flocks of Canary Islands Kinglets and Chaffinches (subspecies palmae) were seen in the pine forests during a short walk.

Barranco de las Angustias. A narrow canyon where the Caldera's outlet stream runs (may be dangerous when raining!). Great views but only few birds: Grey Wagtails, (wild?) Rock Doves, Canary Islands Chiffchaffs and Berthelot's Pipits.

Lava fields south from Fuencaliente. Barren but beautiful:) Coughs, Canaries and hunting Kestrels.

Los Tilos biosphere reserve. Dense and moist Laurel forests on the mountain's steep slopes. These forests are the best place to see Bolle's and Laurel Pigeons. Try stopping at the two bridges on the road LP-107 to the reserve.

Bolle's pigeon at Los Tilos. Iit may be hard to see the pigeons in the dense forest. Dozens of Eurasian Blackbirds (subspecies cabrerae) and European Robins were singing on a November morning.

La Laguna reservoir at Barlovento, one of the best places to see waterfowl and waders in La Palma. About 200 gulls (mostly Yellow-legged), two Grey Herons, a Little Egret, three species of waders, three Eurasian Wigeons and a Mallard were sitting on the concrete slope.
