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!

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!

386 Black Kites piled through The #Straits this morning crossing the #14km divide into Africa - with 295 White Storks, Booted and Short-toed Eagles and the first male European Honey-buzzard as 2 adult Bonelli’s Eagles watched the #migratory proceedings ! 😳

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....!

High drama here as European Honey #Buzzards continue to cross the #14km of The #Straits despite the strong #Levante.
Here a female European Honey Buzzard battles the wind and the challenging crossing finally receiving my amazement and admiration as she drifted right over my head !

Crossing expanses of sea for these #soaring migrants is #wellhard!
This visibly exhausted Short-toed #Eagle crossing in over guests from Naturetrek Wildlife Holidays - they must come here, the narrowest point btwn #Africa & #Europe, at just #14km it still clearly presents a huge challenge !

Any #Brompton or #eBrompton #birders out there?!? It would be great to find fellow #biking birders on two small wheels. I mostly bird in and around London, some #vismig and the odd #twitch - Little bunting in Morden yesterday!
I visit Hampstead Heath, Wormwood Scrubs, Brent Reservoir, Regent’s Park, Walthamstow Wetlands, Woodberry Wetlands, LWC, Rainham Marshes and more.
Further afield I’ve also done bits of north Norfolk, Thetford Forest, Grafham Water and Wallasea Island (pic). #cycling
