I'd like to be...

It's time for another photo blog. The wind is still holding us in Graciosa and we're taking full advantage of the good snorkelling and hiking here. There's also a surprising amount of bird life on this dusty wee island. Notables include: Berthelot's pipit (loads of them), Trumpeter finch, Hoopoe, Southern grey shrike and the Barbary falcon.

A couple of days ago eyebrows were raised by a highly unusual heavy shower of rain! Those of us under shelter were looking around delightedly at the rare sight. It also served to dampen the spirits of the bongo 'players' on the campsite.
