Golden Eagle ( m )

            Guadiana NP, Alentejo, Portugal

this was the closest bird of a whole collection of fascinating species in the sky. The female Golden Eagle was also in sight patrolling their territory.  
About 25 large Griffon Vultures  ( Gyps fulvus ) were soaring  high above them. Among these there were also 3 huge Cinereous Vultures ( Aegypius monachus ). 
These vultures were flying in from their roosting sites just across the Spanish border.
