SPANISH IMPERIAL EAGLE - AQUILA ADALBERTI - AIGLE IBERIQUE


These pictures show the eagle perching first on its favourite branch near the cliff face. Then, it takes off, circling and soaring in thermals.
Its white leading edges make it unmistakable.
We can see here the rapid movement of both the eagle and the vulture while flying close to each other. This sequence is very short, only a few seconds.
Then, the eagle returns to its perch.
This display is very similar to the aerial displays between mates at the beginning of the breeding season.
