World Trip Reports

Subspecies or separate species?



Hi all, just got back from Tenerife a few days ago, to post my final report I need to know if the following are sub species of a separate species!

O.K, here goes!

Tenerife Blue tit
Canary Island Chffichaff
Canary island Goldcrest!

Please help!


I'll let someone who actually knows the answer give you a definitive answer...

but since I am here... I believe the Chiffer is definately split.... the Tit isn't and the Crest might be!


According to my hardcopy copy of S & M, the tit is still Parus caeruleus teneriffae and the goldcrest Regulus teneriffae. Can't even find the appropriate chiffchaff in my present state...
