Today as part of a long-term ringing and biometric study of Black Kites by @FundacionMigres we were delighted to assist with the ringing and study of over 80 individual Black Kites as the increasing gusting wind held up their continued migration 😊

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 !

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!
