In September 2017 I was 2 days in Buseu to photograph Vultures and eagles
Buseu is a little lost village in the spanish pyrenees.
Jordi Canut is the manager of the project to protect the landscape and the vultures.
Here you can see all 4 european species of vultures. I think its unique in europe.
Scientific supervisor of project is Prof. Antoni Margalida from the University of Lleida.
The problem ist, that the vultures in europe don´t have enough food, because in europe exist an act that prohibits to leave cadavers in the landscapes after the BSE-Epidemic In spain the act no mores exists so strong. It is really important to protect the vultures, because they clean our landscapes. Vultures are able to neutralize anthrax pathogen and many other infections. But if a vulture eats an cadaver wich was medically treated with diclofenac the vulture can be die in hours.
Very nice... I went to a local zoo recently and got a decent shot of a bald eagle myself. Not as impressive as the action shots you have posted. I love the tones in that first shot
