What a change in the weather, a trip around the eastern side of the island including a stop at the third highest point Pico Do Arieiro, at 1800+M about 6000ft.
Well that didn't happen due to the road being closed at 1414m due to SNOW.
Not surprisingly the temperature at 1414m was 2'c with hail and Gale force winds.
Madeira is a stunningly beautiful island with 67% a Natural Park with areas of it having some extra level of protection, including SPA and SAC status as well as a UNESCO biosphere reserve.
On the Bird front the highlight was a brief but good view of MADEIRIAN FIRECREST, also seen were; TURNSTONE, MOORHEN, COOT, CANARY,GREY WAGTAIL, and Y L GULL.
