Hello
For those of you who are interested, numbers of raptors have been constantly crossing since my last post.Today was a particulary nice day.I guess there can't be many places where you just sit out in the company of other fellow birders and wait for the birds to cross.The numbers might not be very high but the company was great.The totals are for an 8 hours watch with birds still crossing as i left.
There was a total of 10 species of raptors + White and Black storks. These are todays total.
Black kites 904
Sparrowhawks 128
Booted eagles 220
Marsh harrier 13
Montagu's harrier 31
Hen harrier 1
Osprey 3
Common kestrel 2
Kestrel sp 2
Buzzard 1
Peregrine 1
White storks 267
Black storks 7
regards to all.
