End of the season! Many thanks to Gabi Caucal and all the volunteers involved in the counts this year. 473.000 birds of more than 150 species seen migrating during the day makes leucate one of the best vismig site of Western Europe. https://t.co/73IUXDRPmb #birdmigration

Still more than 14K swifts yesterday at the Leucate station! Still missing 100K swifts compared to last year. https://t.co/HBl6vA6IX5 #birdmigration #vismig

@mark41160 Southern france. Yes 21000 migrating birds and we only count swifts visible naked eye.

It was an honour to be asked by Michele Panuccio to co-author the Honey Buzzard chapter for this new book. Sadly Michele passed away before the book was completed. Let this be a monument to his memory and a source of inspiration for future raptor migration researchers. 👇

Great diversity, great birds, great day yesterday on the station! See the totals at https://t.co/nHVudYsAtv photo (female 2cy pallid harrier)

@HanbyAndrew @trektellen We already have a recorder but poor quality (audiomoth)! We need a radar also! And hundreds of counters ;)

[Med Migration @Med_Migration]

What a day! @trektellen spring record for the Grey heron! A monster flock of 820 white storks and many many many other things ! Check out https://t.co/NfFbrwMs11 #birdmigration #vismig

[Med Migration @Med_Migration]

@HanbyAndrew @trektellen Thanks ! Ten of thousands passerines everywhere in the sky but outside standardized protocol (passerines only counted when visible naked eye)

[Med Migration @Med_Migration]

We didn't expect this at the beginning of the season due to high mortality of crag martins in Spain during January but we've already hit the season total of last year for this species! #birdmigration #vismig https://t.co/3lIbaUlYK2

Crazy day for Alpine swift ! Such an amazing bird ! #birdmigration #vismig

[Med Migration @Med_Migration]

41000 migrating common swifts visible naked eye today! And more than 200 000 during the whole season, this is big! Counts as always on @trektellen https://t.co/4sglqqIRKS #vismig #birdmigration

Very interesting day at the Leucate station! More than 12,000 yelkouan shearwaters were seen heading south today maybe heading to areas with more food to rear the chicks. See the counts and the summary https://t.co/95U9DukSj6 any comments on this data from seabirds specialist ?

[Med Migration @Med_Migration]

Unfortunately not the birds that can be seen at Leucate station but check out this great work about brown #skuas and blue #petrels presented during the #WSTC6 ! #seabirds

[Maud Quéroué @MaudQueroue]

3/4 #WSTC6 #PopSesh | Breeding success of Brown #skua increased w/ number of petrels but we found no link with the environment. In contrast, hatching success 🐣 of Blue #petrel was explained by environment 🌦 but we found no link with its predator, the Brown skua.
