THE BIRDS OF FUERTEVENTURA - the chat, the bustard, the courser and the sandgrouse.
Fuerteventura Chat (or Canary Islands Stonechat) was discovered in 1888 by E. Meade-Waldo, and is most frequently encountered in hilly areas, most notably in steep valleys and dry or nearly dry wadies (locally known as barrancos).
Surprisingly, and unlike Common Stonechat, I found Fuerteventura Chat to be quite secretive and quiet, on windy days they spent a lot of time amongst quite bushy vegetation; no call was heard and only a brief snip of sub-song was noted on one occasion.

 Observer | In praise of a lesser-spotted Canary
The strong wind that carried traders to the island - and from which it derives its name - makes Fuerte a paradise for windsurfers.
But the island is also popular with birdwatchers, being home to several species including the Fuerteventura chat, which is found nowhere else.
