The return migration of the Short-toed Eagle across the Strait of Gibraltar (subtitled)

This video shows the spring migration back from Africa of the Short-toed Eagle (Circaetus gallicus) across the Strait of Gibraltar. The Strait of Gibraltar is the most important bottleneck in the migration of this species between Europe and Africa. Sea-crossing is a vital challenge for this soaring raptor, often hampered by territorial Yellow-legged Gulls.
