Short-toed Eagle crossing the Strait of Gibraltar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today we release in our Youtube channel<\/a> the first of a series of bird migration videos\u00a0in the Strait of Gibraltar. We have filmed these videos over the last three years around Tarifa. This is part of a collaboration project with the Nature Agency at the Ministry of Environment of Denmark<\/a>\u00a0. These videos make part of the exhibition on bird migration at the Skagen Grey Lighthouse information center (Denmark).<\/p>\n

The Strait: a major migration bottleneck<\/h2>\n

The Strait of Gibraltar is the most important bottleneck in the flyway of the Short-toed Eagle between Europe and Africa. This video shows striking images of eagles in active migration across the Strait. The footage stresses the vital challenge that sea-crossing represents for soaring migrants (enable subtitles).<\/p>\n
