As we kick into July #Autumn starts to become a lot more obvious!

Already the Collared #Pratincoles are moving away from the colony and forming pre-migratory flocks in the campo. Already the first small groups of White Storks are crossing The #Straits and European Bee-eaters are forming dense migratory groups, often roosting next to our house in their hundreds!

....Installing Autumn mode....!

Some great #DayTours this week here in The #Straits

The last European Honey #Buzzards continue to cross into #Europe, Balearic and Scopoli’s #Shearwaters criss-cross the divide, #wetlands host the buzzing colony of Little Terns and Collared #Pratincoles and Isabelline #Warblers busily sing from the #dehesa 😊

Whilst we’ve been in the flow of soaring #Bird #Migration this week with guests from Naturetrek Wildlife Holidays we’ve also had some great experiences with the massive colony of Collared #Pratincoles noisily fending off potential #predators, while Kentish #Plovers scuttled among them, copulating Lesser Kestrels and on the sea beautiful encounters with Long-finned Pilot Whales !
