A short trip to Extremadura again! This time, several raptors’ species were present.
We were able to observe the Spanish Imperial Eagle harassed by two Azure-winged Magpies. It was very far from us, about 500/600 metres, but even with fairly bad pictures, the behaviour is interesting and worth seeing.

We saw an aerial chase between a Booted Eagle and a Black Kite for a dead fish!

Another Black Kite was chasing a Bonelli’s Eagle, probably to protect the nest and the young.

Several Black Kites were chasing each other and displaying.

Some other birds of prey have been observed, hunting on the ground or in the air.

The vultures were feeding their young.
The Eurasian Griffon Vultures were very numerous on the cliff faces and we saw one young per nest.
The Eurasian Black Vulture was perched at cliff top, but we met one in the plains too.
The Egyptian Vulture was flying along the cliffs.

The other birds such as Azure-winged Magpie, Blue Rock Thrush, Rock Bunting, European Bee-eater, Cattle Egret and several other species were singing and feeding their young. And of course, the White Stork and the Black Stork were present.

It was something superb and I hope you will like this trip report, in spite of several fairly low-quality pictures, due to the distance.
