Booted-Eagle-post_5377

A Booted Eagle on the coast at Guadalmesi. We’ve seen a lot of birds cross then just hang around the area of The Strait and not really in a hurry to get on with travelling further to their breeding grounds. Similarly slow passage of a lot of warblers will mean late birds in the UK and other European countries. Birds too have a fascinating ability to read weather and certainly know when to stay put. Their biological clocks are ticking and many birds time breeding with that of other living creatures. Insects, small mammals and passerines make up the diet of breeding raptors like this Booted Eagle and the Montagu’s Harrier.
