Me, Patricia & the girls flew out from Edinburgh at 7:15 on the Monday morning with Ryanair. We had overcome online check in & safely printed our boarding passes. It seemed however that since the return flight was more than 7 days away it was impossible to print boarding passes at home. It would therefore mean trying to find somewhere to print them in Fuerteventura or risk a £280 charge from the airline. However, with the aid of Ryanair's App we successfully overcame that hurdle too & downloaded all 4 return boarding on the one IPhone. Why is it not possible to download a Ryanair App on an android phone? In reality the Ryanair experience was good and there was none of the measuring and weighing of cases to the gram that I had expected.
We were staying in the 4 star Corralejo Beach Hotel for 10 nights. Corralejo was a good choice & from what we saw is by far the best resort on the island.

Corralejo, however is not often mentioned in the birding trip reports. Neither is July or August. This was a family holiday & although we had a car for 5 days and traversed the island the number of species seen was less than 20!
Best were Egyptian Vulture near Cardon in the south of the island and 6 Cream Coloured Coursers at Tindaya in the north west. Best of the rest included Southern Grey Shrike, Bertholott's Pipit, Kentish Plover, Hoopoe and Whimbrel.
