Fuerteventura Day 2 - 31/10/14

An early start to get up to Tindaya Plain. I birded this area for a couple of hours without seeing too much, but It was very pleasant being the only human around for miles. I slowly made my way back down to Los Molinos, La Parales, Betancuria and finished the day north of Antigua.
