The final stop on the Hondius was Praia in Santiago and we hopped out and immediately went on a day-long birding tour which was great fun. At the first stop there were good sightings of Cream-coloured Courser, Greater Hoopoe-lark and Black-crowned Sparrow-lark. Hopping about in the bushes were also the endemic Iago Sparrow.
Onwards to the next stop where we were lucky enough to catch up with the Cape Verde Buzzard. As we were driving between all these stops we were also seeing numerous Grey-headed Kingfisher which really are beautiful.

A stop off at the dam was a bit lacking but then as we headed back to the buses I picked up a Spectacled Warbler so it was not all in vain!
