Italian term or phrase: tendenziosamente

Che sinonimo usereste, se la parola si riferisce a degli uccelli? Io sono propensa a "insistentemente", ma non sono sicura... Grazie!

"Ma adesso non c'è altro che una landa petrosa e abbandonata dove non passa mai nessuno, con in mezzo quella fatale concavità ormai senza senso, e sopra pochi uccelli simili a corvi che girano e girano ***tendenziosamente*** mandando lamentevoli strida, e sopra ancora il cielo grigio e immobile del Baltico con quella sua luce diafana che chiama al nord, sempre al nord, e davanti il mare che cammina in eterno, mare duro e potente di colore griglo con lunghe creste bianche le quali compaiono e scompaiono senza motivo e cercandole gli sguardi vanno in là, sempre più in là, fino al lontanissimo orizzonte, interamente disabitato."
