Where do the #birds go? And where do they come from?
My hand painted #map of bird migrations answers some of those questions.

Vogels kijken verveelt nooit en al helemaal niet als er een VISAREND over de tuin vliegt. Magische vogeltrek.
Birdwatching never bores. Especially not when there is an OSPREY above the garden. Magical bird migration.

Ik schreef over de magie van het vogeltrektellen. En over een zeearend. Of misschien zelfs twee.

The #FlywayHighway contnued over our guests yesterday! With Black Kites, European Honey Buzzards, Short-toed and Booted Eagles, White and Black Storks flowing through while a juvenile Bonelli´s Eagle harassed the migratory flow!
Common and Pallid Swifts, House Martins (including a leucistic individual!) Red-rumped and Barn Swallows and masses of European Bee-eaters paper the gaps!
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!
