Ponta Delgada, capital of Sao Miguel island. Without a car and no room in Gerby's van I decided to while away the day in the city
First stop was Antonio Borges park
The Fig tree always amazes
Plenty of local birds including Blackcaps
Greenfinch- not an easy Azores bird
'Azores Woodpigeon'
Had this fly sp- will be a new one for my Azores pan species list
An absolute must for anyone working on their Azores frying-pan species list (cheers Dom!)- Limpets
This was a new one for my frying-pan species list- Bonito
In the afternoon I joined Ocean Colors for a Pelagic
We had 10+ Common Dolphins and a few Bottlenose Dolphins (above)
Also a male Sperm Whale
Great Shearwaters (above) and Cory's Shearwaters
Loggerhead Turtles
and this!!!!!!!!
this!!! Not a bulwers. I thought I saw a wing-bar. In the sun and distant. Something interesting.
Got back at dusk
The fly looks like Stomorhina lunata.
ReplyDeleteThanks Benoit. Sounds good, I thought it might be a hoverfly but didn't look right.
