Sadly none of the 7 local pairs of Lammergeier have produced young this year; cold, windy and snowy weather conditions in March forced the adults to abandon their nests. We have however enjoyed watching young Egytptian Vultures on the nest, they have now fledged. The photo is of an adult Egyptian. Hot weather recently has thankfully seen off most of the remaining winter snow, we watched two pairs of Snowfinch feeding around the last remaining patches of snow and close to their usual nesting place. There seems to be Red backed Shrike everywhere we go!
