It was unusual to me to see a Blackbird (here the island ssp. cabrerae) eating a lizard. I guess that's especially because these lizards (Madeiran Wall Lizard, Lacerta madeirensis) are so common on the island!

Exciting seabirds breed around Madeira! This was an unexpected find during a short pelagic trip off Porto Moniz! This picture is not very good but the bird is amazing! They sort of "dance" over the waves giving little kicks with their feet to the water. Why they do that is a mistery to me, but it might have to do with getting food!

The Madeiran Firecrest is an endemic subspecies of the Firecrest, but is sometimes considered to be a separate species. It has a shorter white supercilium than the nominate. It is very common in the many forested areas on the island.

Wood Warblers occur on Italian islands in the thousands during spring migration. The islands are a last resort for birds exhausted after having crossed about 500 km of the Mediterranean in one bout. This one was lucky enough to find some aphids to pick off the flowers!

This is a poor quality photo, but it is my all-time favourite bird! Unfortunately I never managed to get a good shot of it, despite they often show very well!
