Possible inconveniences
During the expedition, we will photograph bearded vultures, black vultures, and other scavengers in the foothills of the Pyrenees and in the Pyrenees themselves. We will use professional hides, most of which will be equipped with one-way glass. Thanks to the glass, the photographer, their movements, and the lens are completely invisible to the birds, which is especially important for these shy birds. One of the hides will be located near a watering hole. Hide sessions will last a full day or half a day (maximum 8 hours). The hides are not heated; all-day hides are equipped with chemical toilets.
Expected bird species: bearded vulture, griffon vulture, black vulture, golden eagle, marsh harrier, red kite, goshawk, sparrowhawk, little owl
