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 number of people taking the world’s deadliest #migratory route – across the central #Mediterranean – to reach the #EU has more than doubled.
As #migration returns to the top of #Europe ’s political agenda, including in Britain, Europe’s border and coast guard agency said on Friday irregular arrivals had risen by 13% between January and July to 176,100, the highest number for the period since 2016'

The site of #SouthKorea's disastrous #Scout #jamboree is a reclaimed #wetland, once home to millions of birds, that has been described as "cursed" and is now a desert. "It is cursed with deaths of countless #migratory #birds and dead #water... It was time we called #Saemangeum for what it is: an #ecological disaster brought on by the mistaken perception of #human relationship to the #nature."

1,289 Black #Kites crossed The #Straits this morning with 13 Booted #Eagles and 68 Short-toed Eagles crossing alongside them. This immature Short-toed #Eagle took a little break next to us, perhaps to get in the #migratory #mindfulness required !

#Wetlands that fell victim to past #SCOTUS and now #Sackett’s #CarbonBombs were home:
The native #Yokuts lived, fished and hunted along the shores of #TulareLake, where #elk and #antelope, countless #migratory #birds and #terrapins, #frogs and #fish teemed amid #tule reeds and #cattails. Tulare Lake, before it began to go dry in the late 1800s, was the largest #freshwater body #west of the #Mississippi #River.
