Gibraltar Birds

@BEACHYBIRDER 7 were rescued from the sea by the Gibraltar environmental agency, currently in rehab prior to release

@GibraltarBirds Witnessed a big push of Griffon Vulture at punta secreta on Sunday many arriving virtually touching the surface of sea and crashing on to the beaches below, then having to climb the cliff, attempting to get airborne, amazing to see migration like that, brave, precarious and raw.

Busy last few days with strong raptor passage. Strong arrivals of Griffon vultures involving hundreds of birds with a Ruppell's Vulture in the mix. Also E.Vulture, White & Black storks, Mon & Marsh harriers, B.Kite & H.buzzard, Booted & STeagles, Sphk and more! #Gibraltar

Lovely view of the Strait of #Gibraltar, with some red poppies in the foreground (Europe) and Jbel Moussa (Africa) in the background #Scenes 😍

Catch of the year (again!) Little Owl.. thanks to @GibraltarBirds for the spot!

Some #butterflies observed & photographed in #Gibraltar this AM 1) Lang’s short-tailed blue (Leptotes pirithous) 2) Southern blue (Polyommatus celina) 3) Monarch butterfly caterpillar (Danaus plexippus) Also seen: Brimestone, Two-tailed pasha, Geranium bronze, Clouded yellow

WINTER WREN (Troglodytes troglodytes) A common resident in #Gibraltar, strongly territorial and often sing very early in prominent, exposed & often unusual perches to obtain acoustic advantage, even outside the breeding season to ward off other males & establish their territory

House bunting now at Europa point, an occasional but irregular African migrant to #Gibraltar, recently colonised and breeding across the bay in Spain

At el Quarry. Muslim couples on a paddleboard next to a Jewish family. Los Consiglieros unmounting their tents. Live music of gypsy kings from John Robba. Smell of calamares fritos and a calima sunset. Yoga ladies relaxing. Love Gibraltar.
