We explored the Western fringe of The #Straits near #Barbate with guests from Naturetrek Wildlife Holidays yesterday

Here we encountered Northern Bald #Ibises, just-in noisy and delightful Collared #Pratincoles, Woodchat #Shrikes, Eurasian #Wrynecks, Iberian Yellow #Wagtails, Greater Short-toed #Larks, Audouin’s #Gulls and more !

The daredevil flight to save #rare #birds.

"It was mid-August, and Barbara Steininger, an Austrian biologist, was sitting in a rattling ultralight aircraft, flying across southern Germany. To her far left she could see a second aircraft and in it her colleague, Helena Wehner, a German geographer. Between them, flying in a perfect V formation, were 35 bald ibises: large, black, striking-looking birds with long beaks and halo-like tufts of feathers."

Cool news of the day

A #biologist is teaching #endangered #birds new #migration paths from #Austria to #Italy - by flying there with them in a 3-wheeled car with a propeller & parachute-like canopy

The #NorthernBaldIbis (#Waldrapp) were extinct in the wild 50yrs ago, but thru careful reintroduction, #JohannesFritz has rewilded 277 #Ibises & since 2004 has been teaching migration paths (changed over the years b/c of #ClimateChange) to help them get through the winter

Iconic #Ibises
"We destroyed their #habitat, so they adapted to our habitat."
Car crashes, bad diets and tree falls are killing Sydney's #ibises and WIRES wants your help.

In Australia the Ibis is relegated to feed from #garbage bins, due to #HabitatDestruction.
Elsewhere the #Ibis was sacred to and associated with Thoth the God of wisdom and #Writing.
