How curious! One sunny summer day you look up and suddenly see a black and white silhouette circling above your head. It doesn't look like an eagle; it's small for a vulture... Plus, those white feathers with black undersides... What kind of bird is that? You're probably looking at a... Egyptian vulture, the smallest scavenger bird in the Iberian Peninsula. But what is this bird really, and where did it come from?
Hello friends,
hace algunos meses le dedicamos un artículo al griffon vulture, una de las aves más grandes del continente europeo. El buitre leonado suele eclipsar al primo discreto de la familia, el black vulture, un ave carroñera que podemos encontrar solo en algunos puntos concretos de la península. ¿Por qué esta diferencia? ¿Por qué el buitre negro es tan esquivo? Tras nuestro viaje por Monfragüe había que dedicarle un monográfico al buitre negro. ¿Quieres saber más sobre este ave?
We spent 8 hours locked in a photo hide observing the behavior of several species of birds of prey and scavengers. The experience inside the hide is something unique we'll never forget. Want to know why? Well, keep reading and find out how to take spectacular photos from a privileged hiding place.
