It was getting hotter now so the afternoon session became an evening session, not starting until 6.00pm. We were taken to another hillside hide at La Trebede, most attractive as it overlooked a mountain meadow, untouched and in bloom. A few Griffon Vultures were the first to drop in taking some food with one opening it's wings to get rid of parasites.

The usual Ravens were in attendance

and one or two Black Kites.

with one flying off with it's spoils.

At first, the lack of numbers was a disappointment but this proved to be an advantge. Egyptian Vultures are wary when there is large feeding session in progess as they are smaller in size but one or two cautiously came in and then really put on a show with no competition around.

and even a close flypast.

I ended up with over 1000 photos of the species, finally narrowed down to a representative sample of a bird that I only had passable photos before.

Result of the afternoon - a winner!!!!
