| Peregrine Falcon peregrinus | A female ringed in Yorkshire, England on the 29 May 1997 was found dead on a beach on Lanzarote on the 27 Mar 98, having flown 3066 Kms . This is a remarkable movement for a British bred Peregrine as only two other birds known to have left the British Isles are an Irish reared bird to Portugal in 1981 and a Welsh bird to NW France in 1994.

| Barn Owl Tyto alba gracilirostris | This is the Canarian form. It is distinguished from the nominate (typical) form Tyto alba alba by its slender bill. | > | |
| Pipits and Wagtails | |||
| White Wagtail Motacilla alba | The Wagtails complex has numerous races. Observations so far have not been race specific, so we have merely indicated the presence of the nominate type. Information on races of Wagtails recorded on Lanzarote would be most welcome. | > | |
| Yellow Wagtail Motacilla flava | |||
| Shrikes | |||
| Southern Grey Shrike |  | At the time of preparing this site we believe that the Canary Island race of "Great Grey Shrike" is now lumped in the Southern Grey Shrike complex. As yet we have no scientific name to hand and would welcome further correspondence on this matter. | > |
