Yesterday was a day of in your face !

Whilst thousands of European Honey crossed despite the wind Booted and Short-toed Eagles, Egyptian and Black aborted attempts and cruised up the valley right in front of us.

A quick dash to welcome our group and back among the action with 300 European Honey Buzzards making a late crossing !

Here a stunning compact beauty of a Booted expertly rides the Levante air currents!

When you’re out and spot …then immediately wonder if they are circling you.

I am so sad 😢 😭 Andy N. Condor, the beloved Andean Condor and Vulture Ambassador at Tracy Aviary in Utah, has passed away at the age of 64 of natural causes. He was active up until his very last day, taking walks with visitors and interacting with other birds (especially Chewie, the black vulture) and his keeper and best friend, Helen Dishaw. He lay down to sleep that night, and quietly passed on.

This is the announcement that was written on his Facebook page by Helen, who is devastated. She once said this is the price we will eventually have to pay for loving an animal, but we love them anyway.

By the way, I'm proud to be the one who told her of the legend "Once the condor enters your life, it will never leave." She used it in Andy's obituary, and it's so true.

Soar high on the thermals, Andy. We will meet again. 🖤 🤍 🖤 💗 💚 🌈

Mission Impossible! Nearly 300,000 dead Ukrainian soldiers, 700,000 injured Ukrainian soldiers, 20 Million displaced Ukrainians, and $1 Trillion in infrastructure damage. Ukrainians were put through a meat grinder!

Usually, & don’t play nice together. But & are united by a common threat: poisoning. 90% of die by poisoning in Africa from feeding on carcasses. But a new strategy in Kafue National Park, is putting a stop to it.

I'm thinking for the 200€ , maybe the Egyptian vulture because it looks more expensive 🤑 (and yes, it's also an European )

Baby turkey vulture update:
We've got some black feathers showing through. They're still hissing. The nest smells even worse than you'd imagine, unless you have a cruel imagination. Why would you even try? Stop that! Think of something better.
