Madeira - no cake, no wine.....

A taste of a recent trip to Madeira - a land of twisty steep roads and tunnels..............  and banana trees .....not to mention the fantastic seabirds




Madeira Firecrest - a flighty little thing!!

chaffinchs were colourful and friendly


the Venura Domar - THE seawatching spot

Bulwer's Petrel


an unexpected find - Leatherback Turtle



Cory's Shearwaters everywhere
  

A Madeiran Storm Petrel ran into one of our party (and left a bruise) but flew off after obliging the photographers

A very unexpected bonus, this Little Shearwater was found in a garage, unharmed so we got to see it before being taken out to sea and released

Island Canary                                       Berthelot's Pipit


Pilot Whale


Atlantic Spotted Dolphin


above the clouds

shades of Flamborough??


Loggerhead Turtle


Yellow-legged Gull

and a sunset at 6,000 feet - just before we climbed to see the Zino's Petrel....
