Lammergeier (Bearded Vulture)

And here's ABM fretting about disturbing the dunnocks, sparrers, blue tits 'n young starlings ( all on my feeders )  when I put the latest load of washing out.  

Just reading about it, and it ain’t far away from home🤩 Strines is one of our drives out. Around a half hour. Been a few years since we actively set off to view something, but this is rather special.🤔 Thanks for details OP👍

Still there at 4pm today

And getting coverage on BBC News, so likely to be loads of Twitchers out there tomorrow !   Don't expect to find a clear parking spot  

They are worth seeing. We were lucky in seeing a couple of them in the high Pyrenees where they have been introduced.

Suggest anyone going to try to see them takes a few marrow bones as food bait.

I hope the twitchers get organised. Strines is grouse/game bird shooting area. Another month and it all kicks off. Some of the keepers are not very friendly.☹️

If the bird hangs around for a while it might have a tasty Twitcher to feed on.

This is the first wild one I’ve heard of in the U.K. so very rare.  Haven’t heard it’s an escapee

It’s thought to be a 2 year old, originating from a reintroduction programme in the Alps. I’m very tempted to take a look, haven’t been any further than 5 miles from home in the last few months, and that’s only been once a week to Tesco’s.!
