Und hat er auch einige Vögel entdeckt?

Eher nicht.
Unter ornitholgischen Aspekten war La Gomera für Mr. Bannerman offenbar eine riesige Enttäuschung:

"Eagerly I listened for the note of any of the birds I had come so far to find - the Laurel Pigeons, the Pale Redbreast, the Tenerifean Goldcrest, or even the Canarian Chaffinch. Surely it would be difficult to find a more inviting retreat in which, at any rate, the last three mentioned, and certainly the island Blackbird, should have had their home. Absolute silence reigned, not a bird was in sight! I have ridden many miles in the Canary Islands in search of birds, but I never remember such a disappointing journey (from the point of view of the birdlife observed) as this proved to be."
