Spain (Tenerife), 28 February - 8 March 2012

From February 28 until March 8 2012 we spend our holiday in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
Nothing organized - besides a plain ticket - and just see where we going to.
It turned out just fine and besides a relaxing holiday, we also enjoyed the local nature.
We were able to find all the ornithological specialities and photograph many of them aswell.
Besides birds, we also saw some Dolphins, hundreds of lizards, a few butterflies and dragonflies we didn't see before.
This gallery show you the best of what we have seen through our lenses.
Hope you enjoy!
