Bearded Vulture / Bartgeier / Gypaetus barbatus
A very nice surprise to indeed meet it. I did know before that the reintroduced ossifrage of the Alto Adige had their first successful breeding attempt in the Upper Martell Valley but still could hardly believe the luck it would circle for us up there / Ihn wirklich anzutreffen war eine tolle Ueberaschung. Ich wusste zwar das die ausgewilderten Laemmergeier von Suedtirol im oberen Martelltal vor gar nicht langer Zeit ihren ersten Bruterfolg hatten, aber es war unglaublich dass wirklich einer vorbei kam und fuer uns ein paar Kreise flog. |

Unfortunately it was very high above and went even higher whilst circling, difficult to catch sharply just lying on the own back with a 300mm lens.
