The first GONHS outing of 2023 was held on Saturday the 21st January. Robert Perez led a sea-watch at Europa Point, from which attendees had an opportunity to see some of the seabirds that spend the winter in Gibraltar waters.
The Bulk Carrier OS 35 was involved in a collision with the Adam LNG south of Europa Point on the evening of the 29th August. The OS 35 started to sink, and was directed by the Port Authorities to the East Side of the Rock, where it was decided to beach the vessel to prevent it sinking altogether.
The Gibraltar Ornithological & Natural History Society will be celebrating the 22 edition of the Birdlife EuroBirdwatch on Saturday the 1st of October.
The 25th May was specially hectic for the number of raptors that fell into the sea. Most of these are young non-breeding and inexperienced birds that fall foul of windy conditions in the Strait.
