We watched as lines of Black Kites cruised out into The as swirling masses of White Stork arrived overhead to also make their journey into Africa 😊

With a strengthening wind today Black Kites amassed around the valleys of The 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!
