Garbage dump of Los Barrios
January 22 2012
Dear reader!
Surely it is not to everybodys taste to spend the Sunday afternoon at the garbage dump of Los Barrios! 
I enjoy there the "Hitchcock- feeling" and, among others, for example ….
… to watch the cheerful ado of the Cattle Egrets:
And we were very lucky, that also hundreds of White Storks and Griffon Vultures stayed there, amongst banded specimen also from Spain and Germany:
In the late afternoon the Griffon Vultures started for their sleeping places and …
… the great event started, because …
… many of them …
… overflew us in deep attitude. A terrific feeling to be so close to these big birds!
Here a special light specimen with wing markings and ring, unfortunately both not to read:
First it looked like the birds would start in southern direction, but …
… soon we recognized that they were just looking for a thermal bubble, which …
… should carry them to the northwest, the Alcornocales National Park. Just terrific to see at least 300 Griffon Vultures!
Best regards
