A fabulous first morning for our visitors from Bangor University here at the epicentre of #AvianMigration!

First as Iberian Chiff-chaffs sang and Hawfinch called we found 3 in-your-face Eurasian Golden Oriole and then we located a singing Yellow-browed Warbler among the Common Firecrests !

….and that was only the first 30 mins! 😳

As we say goodbye to our guests from Naturetrek Wildlife Holidays another group arrives ! 😊

After the strong #levante we hope to be among the flow of #MigratoryMayhem today !

Here a leaping Common Dolphin that our previous guests encountered in their magical week here in #TheStraits

Crossing expanses of sea for these #soaring migrants is #wellhard!

This visibly exhausted Short-toed #Eagle crossing in over guests from Naturetrek Wildlife Holidays - they must come here, the narrowest point btwn #Africa & #Europe, at just #14km it still clearly presents a huge challenge !

Whilst a river of soaring #migratory #Birds pass over the heads of our guests from Naturetrek Wildlife Holidays it’s important to also check for the smaller tran-Saharan migratory wonders !

Yesterday one tiny bush was temporary home for Common Redstarts (vid), Western Subalpine Warblers, Western Bonelli’s Warbler, Willow Warbler, Garden Warbler with Tawny Pipit, Western Black-eared Wheatears and Woodchat Shrikes within metres!

Amongst the fabulous noisy and amazing colony of Collared Pratincoles yesterday with our group here!

Wryneck, Western Subalpine Warblers, Common Whitethroat and more adorned the trees as we scanned through the myriad of #Shorebirds fuelling up for onward #migration.

Our group was in the absolute thick of it yesterday here on the #FlywayHighway !

Thousands of Black #Kites poured overhead as hundreds of Short-toed and Booted Eagles powered across the #14km divide with Egyptian Vultures and both Black and White #Storks, Eurasian #Sparrowhawks, Western Marsh and Montagu's #Harriers, Western #Osprey and a single Red Kite!

...And we were right in the flow of #MigrationAction !

#FlywayBirding #Birding #Birders #AvianMigration

Yesterday evening we happened upon 700+ Black Kites and 5 Egyptian Vultures making a late in the day push for Europe and we were bang in the middle of their vortex!

What a great end to our tour for our guests !

#FlywayBirding #Birding #TheStraits #Milanosnegros #Milanada #Alimoches #AvianMigration

Yesterday in just one hour of observation 1,142 Black Kite battled the #14km of The #Straits, creating a #milanada alongside Egyptian Vulture, Short-toed Eagles and White Storks.

#FlywayBirding #AvianMigration #Birding

Over 300 Short-toed #Eagles piling into Europe via the #14km of The #Straits here this morning, ahead of the rain!

Alongside them some of the first Booted Eagles and more Black #Storks, White Storks and Black Kites!

Whilst this was flowing overhead a Fin Whale passed offshore!
