Went 4 days in search of Vultures in the South of France, Drôme : Les Baronnies
there is four sorts of Vultures there :
Griffon Vulture
Cinereous Vulture
Percnoptère, Egyptian Vulture
Gypaete, Bearded Vulture
all are reintroduced, after they were decimated by human... like Wolves, they ate babies
I found "only" one sort, but it was fantastic... a bit like to be in South Africa
The Percnoptere is now alone, its mate was electrified by the wires
maybe now it's gone... to other sky
let's plant the decor, a big rock wall... to climb on the other side, I need one hour the first day, then 45 min.
a magnificent view over the village of Rémuzat and the mountains around
the view from my room
a bit foggy... just for the Vultures
the target from the face
and from the behind walk
at mid way

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Nice place to be, apart from mid-summer when it is too hot
