Black-bellied Sandgrouse is locally common on Fuerteventura Island, both in sandy and stony plains, and also in open valleys. Sometimes is possible to find big flocks of up to 200-250 birds. in any case, it is more usual to see small groups. There are also some records for Lanzarote and La Graciosa, and in the past it was observed on Gran Canaria. The bird in the image is an adult female. |
