Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: vulture

The barren mountains are only sparsely populated by people, but many sheep live here. The flocks of sheep are observed from the air by vultures.

We had met a couple that was very experienced in astronomy and looked for a very dark place. So together we booked rooms in "Les Détroits", a kind of simple B+B place in the gorge, with no village around. After we arrived they spotted this vulture.

When I had crossed the Pyrenees by foot some weeks ago, I had seen vultures a couple of times. I had never taken a photo, as they watched me - and as soon as I stopped and opened my camera bag - the vultures vanished. This morning the couple posed for me up in the sky.
