  • Latest from Gibraltar

    24 Mar: Heavy levanter cloud with strong easterly winds. Some Black Kites were observed battling against the strong easterly winds and heading along the east side of the Rock. The incessant easterly winds, dominating throughout most of the past few weeks, has prevented most raptor passage over the Rock this season, and the dry conditions are not helping the native flora.

  • Thanks Alan, oh dear, not so good, let's hope things settle soon and our lovely Osprey's and all the other birds make safe passage home.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

  • Thank you, ALAN. I'm not sure whether to be reassured or worried. Am probably a bit of both.
  • Hi, anyone know White CT (ringed on left leg)
    Not on the list but would suggest Scotland 2008.

    Photographed at Llyn Brenig North Wales today 26/03/19

  • Not on any list I have Colin.
    Oh dear, like Scylla, am I reassured, or truly worried about EJ now? But she is a seasoned traveller...!
