The Egyptian vulture, the wise vulture

In this trip we approach one of the most important Egyptian vulture roosting places on the island. During the first hours of the day, dozens of these beautiful birds take to flight in a colossal spectacle. We will also get to see some of the species that share the habitat with the Egyptian vulture as Alpine Accentor, Crag Martin, Alpine Swift, Pallid Swift or the Red Kite.
