Saturday 15th March 7am (first light)A party of five set off to go Griffon Vulture spotting. Nigel Cobb (our good friend from whom we purchased the Alpacas) Adrian (another good friend of ours) Lucy Cobb (Nigel’s niece) and Penny Cobb (Lucy’s mother) and yours truly!! Oh sorry, and Lucy’s two pet goats Sofia and Silky!! Too early for Lin, who is not yet fully recovered from her operation!
We all met at Nigel and Ginny’s house in Atalaya (pictured above) and headed for nearby woodland, where it is known that the vultures roost at night. Well, we were in luck and spotted a number of vultures still perched in the trees and we watched in amazement as one by one they launched themselves from the branches and flew down into the valley below us.
We all then returned to Nigel and Ginny’s for a breakfast of salmon and scrambled egg, fresh orange juice, toast and homemade jam and coffee……..it’s a tough life over here!
