Tarifa, Spain in March (Los Lances Beach)
Shorebirds give me some trouble, especially since this is March and migration opens up possibilities. Any input appreciated :) When possible or when I thought helpful, I included multiple shots or perspective shots for estimating size. The last three aren't shore birds, but photographed at area...- rowebird87

Black Kite on migration over Tarifa
I should be used to it, but every year I'm caught by surprise when hundreds of birds (sometimes thousands) fly above my head. Fall migration has started all of a sudden, and we are witnessing the first white storks and black kites flocks of the season. If you've never been to the Strait of...- Yeray

Raptor Migration
Yesterday we enjoyed a good raptor morning, and even though we didn't have the best light, there was some photography frenzy when booted and short-toed eagles were passing nearby. Czech was shooting in burst mode while Giles watched the raptor show in Tarifa.- Yeray

Black Kite portrait
Black kites are swarming in and around Tarifa with the strong "Levante" (easterly wind that blows in the western Mediterranean Sea). I got some nice close-ups this morning. Some other raptors are slowly joining in to migration.- Yeray

Migration is ON!
Today a flock of more than 300 white storks just flew above my house. That number is far from the huge flocks of tens of thousands storks that cross the Strait of Gibraltar in August, but still... you can feel the great show of migration has already started. Black kites are starting to cross as...- Yeray

White Stork in flight
The White Stork migration has already started! A few hundreds have crossed the Strait of Gibraltar already. The big show, however, will be in a few weeks, when not hundreds, but hundreds of thousands will get together in huge flocks to start their journey to Africa.- Yeray

Little Owl near Tarifa
It's always nice to see this little guys. The Little Owl is an abundant but declining species in Spain and the rest of Europe, probably due to the use of pesticides and changes in traditional farming. Have you seen them lately?- Yeray

Fast for the feast!
Dozens of eurasian griffons (Gyps fulvus) congregated near Tarifa to feast on a dead cow. We could see the whole thing without disturbing them and enjoy a great show. Several other people (not birders) stopped their cars to join us, they were amazed!- Yeray
