High #FlywayDrama here as the continuing #Levante is making some Black #Kites impatient and we watched as some attempted to cross in crazy cross winds only to turn back and thankfully make it to try in better conditions!
European Bee-eaters are also joining the #Milanada making for quite a fabulous windy #spectacular #MigrationParty !
