Posted on 07/11/2017 by Patricia

Route des Crêtes, Nov. 3rd, 2017. Waking up early in order to locate some goat antelopes (rupicapra rupicapra), the surprise was to actually find a small family of about 10 individuals feeding on the crest of the mountain on the first day.

Alimoche

Posted on 25/08/2017 by Patricia

June, 2009-2011, Spanish pre-Pyrenees. What is the meaning of the blogsite’s name? The name is that of a bird, one of the smallest and funniest vultures: the Egyptian vulture (el alimoche, le percnoptère d’Egypte, de aasgier). It is also the smartest of them all! If you see this bird eating a raw egg, you’ll understand.

Foggy sun

Aug. 7, 2017. La Palma, Roque de los Muchachos. The “calima” is striking again, with a thick cloud which came into sight this morning… This lead to a spectacular morning view of the setting (full) Moon in a bright orange colour. Late this afternoon, the Sun set into the dusty layer and disappeared well before reaching the horizon!

Wild flowers (III)

Posted on 02/07/2017 by Patricia

June 25th, 2017. Pont de Suert, Catalunya. Highly perched on its rock in the sierra, the little village of Adons is a place full of emotion and awesome landscape. The perfect spot to start the excursion and look for the presence of wildlife.
