Griffon Vulture over Divača

Surprisingly not much migratory movement (grounded migrants) at Divača's airfield (Ležeški Gabrk - SLO): 1 male Stonechat, 1 f Whinchat, singing Skylarks, 2 singing Melodious Warblers, +50 Alpine Swifts in flock, 1 Hobby, 2 Buzzards, 1 Kestrel, 1 Cirl Bunting, several singing Common Whitethroats (probably the commonest species), 1 Cuckoo (distant, perching on a bush) and the highlight of the day in the form of a Griffon Vulture gliding SE (quite high in the sky).

Later at Campo Carri not much movement either, with just 3 Whinchats, 1 male Stonechat, 2 male Northern Wheatears, 1 Tawny Pipit and 2 overflying Swallows. No signs of the other migrants (from previous days).
