Mountains and on to Santana

Took a slow drive through the mountains. First stop was at the Pico do Ariero. Obviously no Petrels as it was the middle of the day, but it was interesting to see the view in daylight.



Stopped off for an hour or so at Balcoes in the hope of getting some better views of Trocaz Pigeon. Eventually found close birds perched near to a restaurant where we stopped to have a drink. Then headed on to our hotel near Santana at Quinta do Furao where we relaxed and had our evening meal on the balcony overlooking the sea.
