Spanish Sparrow at El Cotillo
Saw a Spanish Sparrow at El Cotillo, there weren't many birds around, maybe three or four sparrows and half a dozen spotted flycatchers at the top of Los Lagos beaches near to Sottavento restaurant.

Spanish Sparrows in Tindaya
Saw Spanish Sparrows by the church in Tindaya, Fuerteventura, there was quite a few, they were quite difficult to photograph as they were very lively, shy and constantly on the move but I managed to get a few photos.
