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

With 3,487 Black Kite crossing The #Straits yesterday we had news from Dakar, Senegal 🇸🇳 where over 3,000 where counted passing !
Today a strong levante wind may delay all but the most determined to cross the #14km divide between Europe and Africa !
Thanks to Andy Pinches in Senegal for the #data ! 😊
With the strong cross wind Black Kites are amassing near #Tarifa forming a #Milanada ! #KiteFest2023 is on!

With a strengthening #poniente wind today Black Kites amassed around the valleys of The #Straits attempting to cross but many waiting for better conditions. As Booted and Short-toed Eagles joined their growing numbers, a group of 178 White Storks showed them how it's done!

Here they come ! Black #Kites now entering The #Straits today with several gorgeous juveniles among them. 380 White #Storks making the crossing and a Lanner Falcon was observed !
This juvenile made the crossing around this time for the first time last year.

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 !
