I feel very privileged. Today we spent over an hour in the presence of two very rare Bearded Vultures (Quebrantahuesos/Lammengeier).

They rode the thermals, dropping bones to extract the marrow. The process repeated itself throughout the encounter. This mating pair from Cazorla seemed to be really enjoying themselves and certainly put on a display for us. A rare treat for us to see.
