This year’s celebration of BirdLife International’s ‘EuroBirdwatch’ was a quieter affair than in previous years.
The prime objective of our first marine bioblitz was to engage the public in a citizen science initiative which also served to raise understanding of the dynamic coastline we have in Gibraltar.
Last week, the GONHS Raptor Rescue Unit released a wild Griffon Vulture that had been brought down by Yellow-legged Gulls on the 5th June. The bird had landed on a cliff in the South District and was being mobbed by gulls.
An enjoyable Wintering Seabird Outing held at Europa Point on the afternoon of the 19th January 2020 was well attended with about eighteen keen birders and photographers at the site.
