Santiago del Teide Council and the El primer viaje initiative are organising two activities on Friday 13 November 2026 to protect Cory’s shearwaters during their first flight. The campaign includes watching rescued birds being released and an environmental patrol to help juveniles in areas where artificial lighting increases the risk of disorientation.
Shearwater release: 10:30–11:30 on the seafront promenade at Calle La Hondura, 8, Puerto de Santiago. Registered participants can watch rescued birds being released.
Environmental patrol: 20:30–23:00, meeting at Puerto de Santiago football ground. This is part of the organised campaign; the announcement does not invite independent rescue attempts.
The form allows you to request one activity or both. Places are limited and applications are accepted in registration order. Minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult throughout the activity. All times are Canary Islands local time. Check any changes with the organisers before attending.
Information valid until: 2026-11-13T23:00:00+00:00
