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

Today among the #FlywayHighway Black #Kites continue to power through The #Straits with 1,825 making the crossing alongside this mesmerising group over 1,000 White Stork + 3 Black Stork, Egyptian #Vultures, Short-toed and Booted #Eagles European Bee-eaters, #Osprey and going the other way an Eleanora´s #Falcon!
With an increasingly gusty #Levante many decided to delay their crossing ....so tomorrow more!

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 !

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 ! 😊
