Last year we GPS-tagged this #EuropeanRoller who just came back from Namibia! Cannot convey how excited we are to have such precise data of this impressive 8000km trip. Dot colour is speed, red being faster (up to 100kph!). Found her with partner at old nestbox #birdmigration
Sometimes a griffon #vulture cross the Strait of Messina moving between Sicily and continental Italy. Yesterday one of them passed over our watchpoint #ornithology#birds#Raptors#birdsofprey https://t.co/dt8Hta8SzG
In the last days at the Strait of Messina weather was bad with rain, fog and few #raptors. But at least we observed some very confident migrating birds like the one in the picture #ornithology#birds#birdmigration
Today at the Strait of Messina, from our second watchpoint, we counted more than 200 #Raptors mostly Marsh Harriers but also 14 Pallid Harriers and a nice flock of Black Storks #ornithology#birds#birdmigration#birding https://t.co/dt8Hta8SzG
Who oh who will monitor the passage of 1,000,000 #raptors@BatumiRaptors this autumn?
Applications for the 12th Batumi Raptor Count are now open!
Come and experience a jaw-dropping migration spectacle in a friendly environment.
