This year, GONHS once again celebrates bird migration with the rest of the BirdLife family in Europe and Central Asia. Organisations throughout the continent will be participating in the event, which takes place during the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd October.
The outing to Finca La Alcaidesa, on the 15th May, was the first GONHS outing to Spain since before the pandemic.
A Myrtle Warbler, Setophaga coronata, also known as a Yellow-rumped Warbler, was reported by Luis Lopez from the Europa Point area, with a video and a photograph posted by Manuel Morales Holgado, on the WhatsApp group 'Aves Estrecho Gibraltar' on February 27th.

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.
