After visiting this area in December last year, I was curious to see if the Griffon Vultures indeed had started breeding. I remembered the exact place well and was delighted to see that there was a chick inside the nest. Compared to the parent bird, the chick was so little.

There were relatively few birds present today, but the sight of the Vultures' nest was unforgettable. I also managed to take a few great shots of Vultures soaring by.
I was fortunate to spot another type of Vulture as well: a pair of endangered Egyptian Vulture were busy fetching nesting material.

A short but interesting visit which resulted in the sighting of species I don't often encounter, among which: Red-billed Chough, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Blue Rock Thrush and Black Wheatear.
