Collecting us late afternoon from our hotel, Bernado drove is a few miles from Cremenes to a site called La Una where a couple of hides overlooked an outcrop of rocks at the top of the valley so nice open views. Rather cloudy at first but then the sun came out - a glorious place for bird photography.

After spreading the food around the raptors started to arrive with the Griffon Vultures in numbers.

and showing that withering stare.

A lone Buzzard braved the Vulture-fest for a short time

and the rarer Egyptian Vulture flew past to see what the activity was all about

but, being intimidated by the larger 20 or so Griffon Vultures, it did not land.

Of course the usual Ravens were making their mark on the proceedings,

but the stars of the show were Black Kites that kept their distance as long as the Griffon Vultures were present but soon arrived after they departed

with a lighter coloured one {Juvenile?) taking exception to something

before a larger bird (adult) came in and stole the food it was trying to protect.

The action slowed down as the sun began to set but a fascinating three or so hours.
