Accommodation to the Airport, flight back to Malaga and Home, Spain.

Our last day on Fuerteventura and travelling Home.
Deb and Ian, Day Twenty Nine.
 
Looking out to Tindaya Plain.
We spent the morning packing and cleaning the Cacita before we headed down to the Airport for our flight back to Malaga, at the Cacita we saw or heard Eurasian Stone Curlew (Alcaraván Común / Burhinus oedicnemus) heard, Northern Raven (Cuervo grande / Corvus corax), Great Grey Shrike (Alcaudón Norteño Koenigi / Lanius excubitor koenigi), Berthelot's Pipit (Bisbita Caminero / Anthus berthelotii), Spanish Sparrow (Gorrión Moruno / Passer hispaniolensis) and Trumpeter Finch (Camachuelo Trompetero / Bucanetes githagineus).
Looking North.
We made a brief stop at the Mirador de Vallebrón and the continued on seeing Egyptian Vulture (Alimoche Común / Neophron percnopterus) before we arrived and handed the car back.
Our flight was a little delayed and our last birds before we left were Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus dacotiae) and Yellow-legged Gull (Gaviota Patiamarilla / Larus Michahellis).
Our last look down the valley towards the accommodation.
We arrived back in Spain a bit late but the uneventful and probably the smoothest landing I have ever known.
Fuerteventura Airport.
We were soon out onto the car park where good friend Derek Etherton picked us all up and took us up to his place where we caught up with Barbara, had a drink and some very nice Lemon Drizzle Cake before heading home via the Bar 3 Calles for drinks and food.
As we got home the storm that had been rumbling for a while arrived and it put on a bit of a show for a while but then the rain just got too heavy and we retreated to the house.
