Today was very much not a birding day, with all the targets wrapped up I had no need to drag Laura around trying to find any outstanding species. We booked a cable car trip up the Teide volcano in the centre of the island. While the views from the top were spectacular, because of the incredible levels of snowfall we could not walk to the caldera, and the actual area we could explore was very limited. For the price we paid it was disappointing. At least there were three Berthelots Pipits in the car park.
In the afternoon we returned to the area we had hiked the previous day, near the town of Tamaimo. Instead of climbing the mountains we walked the valley bottom and enjoyed the warm weather before we return to Paris. It was enjoyable, with more Tenerife Wall Lizard action and nice common species. A very relaxed way to spend our final afternoon on the island.
