Yesterday was a day of in your face #Eagles!
Whilst thousands of European Honey #Buzzards crossed despite the #levante wind Booted and Short-toed Eagles, Egyptian #Vultures and Black #Storks aborted attempts and cruised up the valley right in front of us.
A quick dash to welcome our group and back among the action with 300 European Honey Buzzards making a late crossing !
Here a stunning compact beauty of a Booted #Eagle expertly rides the Levante air currents!

With the wind lessening to a moderate to strong #levante we saw the #migratory flood gates open!
5,087 White #Stork, 4,381 Black #Kites dominated the skies with the gaps full of Egyptian Vultures, Booted & Short-toed #Eagles, European Honey #Buzzards, Montagu´s #Harriers, Black Storks, European Bee-eaters and more!
However many more did not cross - tomorrow more!
Going the other way this vagrant House Bunting came in from The #Straits and spent a couple minutes hanging at our watchpoint!

The #Levante continues and more and more Black #Kites, European Honey #Buzzards, Short-toed and Booted #Eagles arrive in The #Straits waiting for their turn to cross to Africa as the wind drops !
We estimated today there maybe well over 10,000 Black Kites waiting and desperate to make the crossing !
This #Milanada and bottling up of soaring migrants is ONLY possible due to wind and geography here at the very epicentre of migration ! #TheStraitsofGibraltar

Some good buzzard activity yesterday. They were doing lots of lots of high altitude hovering, not nearly as elegantly as a kestrel but they’re still damn good at it, and circling at a relatively low height. Then, of course, they got chased by some crows. They really hate each other!

Stuck at home after knee surgery so I might share some pics I took before I joined Mastadon. Here’s the first decent photo I ever took of a bird after I got my dad’s old DSLR; a Canon Digital Rebel with an EF-S 55-250mm lens.

Awesome day witnessing the #migration of European Honey #Buzzards with a flow in over our heads with guests here in The #Straits yesterday - also crossing the #14km divide here Short-toed Eagles, Booted Eagles and a flow of 766 Black Kites that #united the two #continents!

High drama here as European Honey #Buzzards continue to cross the #14km of The #Straits despite the strong #Levante.
Here a female European Honey Buzzard battles the wind and the challenging crossing finally receiving my amazement and admiration as she drifted right over my head !

A highlight of this afternoon's dog walk was watching no less than five buzzards soaring together, calling and sky dancing. Two were definitely going through a mating display; the others seemed to be holding back and watching. Looking closely, you might just make out five dots on the picture. #SkyDance #Buzzards

More grief for the local gulls as this beautiful #sparrowhawk flew over, while two more #buzzards were circling high up above #BirdsOfMastodon

A couple of buzzards flying high, enjoying the thermals over Corvedale in the Shropshire Hills.
Quite high up, so probably at the limit of the 200mm lens, and heavily cropped!

I believe that #Buzzards are doing very well over here... No hike without an encounter.
