Product Information

The Servicio Canario de Salud is an autonomous body of administrative nature attached to the Ministry responsible for Health of the Government of the Canary Islands. The majority of the archipelago's hospitals belong to this organization: [150] It is endemic to the Canary Islands, Azores and Madeira in the region known as Macaronesia in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. In the Canary Islands, it is common on Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro, but more local on Gran Canaria, and rare on Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, where it has only recently begun breeding. [10] [13] It is common in Madeira including Porto Santo and the Desertas Islands, and has been recorded on the Salvage Islands. In the Azores, it is common on all islands. [10] The population has been estimated at 80,000-90,000 pairs in the Canary Islands, 30,000-60,000 pairs in the Azores and 4,000-5,000 pairs in Madeira. [3] Other theories speculate that the name comes from the Nukkari Berber tribe living in the Moroccan Atlas, named in Roman sources as Canarii, though Pliny again mentions the relation of this term with dogs. [23] According to Statista in 2019, there are 75,662 Muslims in Canary Islands. [116] Statistics [ edit ] Ley Orgánica 1/2018, de 5 de noviembre, de reforma del Estatuto de Autonomía de Canarias".

Both hotels have a swimming pool, are very comfortable and the food is excellent. Please note, however, that due to the fluctuation of prices and availability in many rural, family run hotels in the customary Birdwatching Spain style we must stay at a larger tourist-style hotel. The Canary Islands have long held an attraction for birders, with their combination of family-friendly sun and several avian endemics and specialities. The ambition of this field guide is to give resident and visiting birders a compact, single volume that treats all of the species ever found in the Canary Islands. Importantly, as author Eduardo Garcia-del-Ray states, the publication of a dedicated field guide can be the first step in increasing local knowledge of birds, and subsequently their conservation – something that has been sadly neglected in the Canary Islands over recent years.

Linnaeus originally classified the Atlantic canary as a subspecies of the European serin and assigned them to the genus Fringilla. Decades later, Cuvier reclassified them into the genus Serinus and there they have remained. The Atlantic canary's closest relative is the European serin, and the two can produce on average 25% fertile hybrids if crossed. Utreta, Federico (1996).
