Opis

It has been estimated that 35-40 million birds migrate over the straits every year. Daily totals vary enormously depending on both local and more distant factors but can be staggering exceptionally involving 10,000+ bocian biały and more than twice as many kania czarna and Trzmielojad! In easterly winds this is the go to site to witness the mass migration of raptors and storks. In spring the main raptor passage extends from February to early May whilst Autumn passage mainly runs from late August until October although raptors may still be present outside this period. Larger numbers pass through in autumn when exceptional numbers generally follow a period of adverse conditions locally or further north in Spain. Each species has its own period of migration which for the most frequent species this can be sumarised as follows

bocian biały – Spring Feb-April (peaks early March): Autumn July – Sept (peak late August) bocian czarny – Spring Feb-April (peak late March): Autumn Sept-Oct (p eak late Sept) Trzmielojad: Spring Late April – May (peak Early May); Autumn August-Sept (peak Early Sept) kania czarna: Spring Feb - April (peak March); Autumn July – Sept (peak early August) ścierwnik : Spring Feb – May (peak late March); Autumn Aug – Sept (peak early Sept) sęp płowy : Spring Feb – June (peak early May); Autumn – Sept – Oct (peak early Nov) gadożer : Spring Feb – May (peak early March); Autumn – Sept – Oct (peak late Sept) orzełek : Spring March – May (peak late March); Autumn – Sept – Oct (peak late Sept) błotniak łąkowy : Spring April- May (peak early April); Autumn – Aug – Sept (peak late August).

Less frequent but regular species, include rare and scarce birds such as Atlas Long-legged Buzzard, sep plamisty, raróg górski and sokół skalny.
