Madeira. No birds!

Arrived early evening in Madeira for a family holiday. Didn’t see a single identifiable bird in the two hours of daylight! Okay, I spent most of the time in the airport and by the time we arrived at our wonderful Mountain chalet at Casas Velleperaizo near Camacha, it was nearly dark. But no FPs at the airport and the few Swifts I saw whilst driving were unidentifiable (though with hindsight they were obviously Plain Swifts).
