Migration season has started!

Its still relatively early but we're glad to report that the migration season has most definitely started!

We remained local and headed up the Rock and to Europa Point where we managed to capture some great photos of Black Kites that were in the area.

Also spotted this early on were the Crag Martins:

Whilst we were busy watching the Black Kites we also managed to spot some resident birds, such as the Peregrine Falcon and Kestrel.

The Blue Rock Thrush is also a resident bird in our rocky areas and we were fortunate enough to get photo's of this beautiful bird.

Until the next time... Hope you all have a great weekend!
