Hot winds from Africa
Birdwatching in Madeira can sometimes be very unpredictable. The endemic birds in Madeira are confined to small area and habitats. Though when it comes to vagrants we never know what we are going to get.
When hot winds blow from Africa, we usually get some accidental vagrants. Now, if this winds coincide with bird migration we reached optimum birdwatching conditions. This happened again this weekend and Madeira has been inundated it thousands of migratory birds.
Keep in mind, that Madeira is 600 km off Africa’s coast and ideal conditions can only happen twice a year. Today, Tuesday we there still more birds arriving to the Islands as hot winds continue.

Monk Seal in Funchal
Today, we manage to observe a Mediterranean Monk Seal Monachus monachus for one hour in Lido, Funchal before sunset. The mammal was varying in distance from the shore between 50 to 90 meters. Resting, though sometimes it look that it was injured. All the time had its eyes closed. A Labrador Retriever tried to approach it 20 meters away and then returned to the shore, no reaction from the Monk Seal.
Tomorrow, we shall post photos and a detailed report in our websites… And let you know further developments. Please join the debate.
Injured or resting?
