Résumé :	A small but significant northward movement of raptors occurs across the Strait of Gibraltar in June and July, following the main spring passage. Six key species-Honey-buzzard Pernis apivorus, Black Kite Milvus migrans, Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus, Griffon Vulture Gyps fulvus, Short-toed Eagle Circaetus gallicus and Booted Eagle Aquila pennata-continue to arrive throughout June, while the passage of Short-toed Eagles and Honey-buzzards in particular persists into July. The possible reasons for this protracted passage are discussed.
