Magical 24 Hours

The last 24 hours have been magical. Few places can offer what the Strait of Gibraltar can. Here an Orca Orcinus orca off Tangier, Morocco, this morning...Last night 10 thousand Black Kites Milvus migrans and up to 100 thousand Common Swifts Apus apus migrating south over the Rock of Gibraltar (below)

Part of a large flock of Black Kites yesterday
