Birdwatching in Cape Verde
The islands of Cape Verde have an interesting range of endemic species offering some rare birdwatching opportunities.
There are many seabirds, such as Petrels, Frigate Birds, and Shearwaters. Inland you might see Buzzards, the Cape Verde Warbler, Falcons, Ospreys, and of course Cape Verde’s famous Kingfishers.
Whether you go independently or with a guide, it’s best to head to the most vegetated islands for the best bird watching experiences. Sao Nicolao, Santo Antao, and Santiago are particularly good, due to their lush green valleys. However, there are bird watching opportunities throughout all of the islands.
