Bolle's Pigeon is an endangered large, dark pigeon species endemic to the Canary Islands. It is strongly associated with the ancient laurisilva cloud forests, a relict forest type.
Where to spot
Endemic to the central and western Canary Islands (La Gomera, La Palma, Tenerife, El Hierro), specifically within the laurisilva cloud forests.
How to spot
Look for a large, uniformly dark grey pigeon with a darker tail and flight feathers. Observe its flight, which is often fast and direct. Listen for its deep, booming cooing call, often heard echoing through the forest.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight. Best observed by listening for its calls or patiently waiting near fruiting trees within its forest habitat.
