| The Azores archipelago lies in the middle of the Atlantic ocean and is part of the Macaronesian biogeographical region. The islands - 9 in total - have their own flora and fauna, with a high level of endemism despite the relatively low number of native species. For keen birdwatchers, the Azores have been long recognized as a prime destination for the observation of rare vagrants of nearctic (American) origin to the Western Palearctic. I have visited the Azores annually since 2007 - mainly during the autumn - with trips to Sao Miguel, Terceira, Flores and Corvo islands. This gallery has 919 images depicting 115 bird species. |
