  • Unfortunately I don't think Trevor will be on for a couple of days so if you can flood me with nature shots I can show him in-between rests

    I'm not getting much off my current cams so here's one I just stumbled upon.

    per Vulture Conservation Foundation:
    The Cinereous Vulture, also known as the Eurasian Black Vulture is the largest European vulture, and one of the heaviest and largest raptors in the world, with its wingspan almost reaching 3 metres. The Cinereous Vulture faced a dramatic decline in Europe, but thanks to the increase of the Spanish population, the species is making a comeback in other parts of Europe, from Portugal to France and Bulgaria.

    It didn't rain pre-midnight!  But made up for it afterwards.

    Some sheep made a little detour:

    The Black Vulture may have spent the night on the nest but the cam is offline overnight until about 08:25 in the morning - at which time 8CC was on the nest.  After a while 8CC left the nest, this was after it returned:

    I haven't seen any food on the nest, presumably at this age the juvie is eating its usual stale meat Stuck out tongue winking eye diet with its parents?
