Yesterday was a day of in your face #Eagles!
Whilst thousands of European Honey #Buzzards crossed despite the #levante wind Booted and Short-toed Eagles, Egyptian #Vultures and Black #Storks aborted attempts and cruised up the valley right in front of us.
A quick dash to welcome our group and back among the action with 300 European Honey Buzzards making a late crossing !
Here a stunning compact beauty of a Booted #Eagle expertly rides the Levante air currents!

Crossing The #Straits is not only daunting for soaring migratory #Birds it is also one of the most dangerous parts of their migratory journey !
Getting it right takes skills and determination!
Two adult and this juvenile Bonelli’s Eagles are patrolling the valleys below yesterdays line of Booted and Short-toed Eagles, Black #Kites, Montagu’s #Harrier and White #Storks making the journey even more treacherous !
They are amazing strong predators and they will take these soaring #Eagles down! 😳

328 followers · 908 posts · Server eupolicy.socialI just saw two storks on my evening run! I live at the northern edge of Berlin. When I was a child, storks were a pretty rare sight in most parts of Germany. Thanks to conservation efforts, there are more of them now. Still, it's a special thing to see them and it gives me hope.

A superb flow of Black #Kites today crossing to Africa including this juv attempting it for the first time with a band of 86 White #Storks also making the crossing.
An early Black Stork attempted to cross as both Booted and Short-toed #Eagles continually build in numbers ! 😊
