Spotted
The Canary Islands Stonechat is a distinctive stonechat species, endemic to the Canary Islands. Males are recognized by their black head, white neck patch, and rich orange-brown breast.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Canary Islands (Spain), found across various habitats including scrubland, open woodlands, agricultural areas, and coastal heath.
How to spot
Look for it perching conspicuously on the tops of bushes, wires, or tall grass stems. Its characteristic 'chak-chak' call is a good indicator of its presence. Watch for its energetic flight and tail-flicking.
When to spot
Year-round resident on the islands. Most active and vocal during the breeding season, which typically runs from late winter to early summer.
This species is one of the few endemic landbirds of the Canary Islands, having evolved unique adaptations in isolation from its mainland relatives.
