There has been a bit of a gap! I promise I will start up again.
Some quick highlights are, touch wood, all three 'local' pairs of Lammergeier are on eggs and probably at the point of hatching! Gavarnie has moved, metres away from the previous nest, Luz has moved about 5km. Arrens pair have failed. They couldn't get off the nest for about a week because of the weather.
Driving up to the ski resort on Tuesday and one adult bird came over the road at tree top height then dropped over the car and below the road level - I'd like to think he looked at me before disappearing over Sazos village - fantastic.
Other news is that the Eagle Owl seems to be in the same place although the male (?) has proved elusive. The Scops was in full voice last night. I really need to narrow down the nest this year. We don't want a repeat of a couple of years ago!
Black Kites have fully returned. As have Egyptian Vultures, must go and look for the 'locals' - set reminder. First Short Toed Eagles arriving.
Things are hotting up!
