Lajes and the southern coast of Pico are surely one of best spots in the Azores for bird watching at sea and on land as well.
This year is a particular good one for Gannets on the Azores.I have seen them almost every day hunting in front off Mosteiros and Joao Bom de Bretanha.
ReplyDeleteThe other day I could count over 50 resting on end of the day after seeing them hunting for hours over a big group off dolphins.
This year I also found a Brown Booby, kind off gannet but normaly only seen until Cape Verde Islands together whit some finnish Birders.
Its the second for Azores and has been seen until two weeks ago sleeping together whit a double crested cormorant on one off the Mosteiros Islets.
