Remarks
» A dead bird found under a power line. This is one of the birds most frequently affected by this conservation problem. In any case, in recent years some measures to avoid bird collision with power lines have been developed, both on Lanzarote and on Fuerteventura, reducing considerably the number of deaths by this cause in some areas.
