Stalking Red kite
  • Yes, absolutely! I grabbed my camera and had my teleobjective on for birds but i did not need any zoom at all. In fact, i only got this one picture where the whole bird is in frame

    We put some food on the grill and noticed someone checking on us 👀

    Rana pyrenaica

    Rana pyrenaica is considered as endangered because of its small habitat in the pyrenees. Additionally the known populations are seperated from each other due to loss of habitat. We searched for this little fellow around Ordesa and found it next to the hiking trail. There is a little stream, and they love the moving and oxygen rich water. The end of the hike was a big waterfall where we found egg clutches! Really happy about that as this was the first evidence of reproduction at this locality 🐸

    Aspisviper (Vipera aspis) in the Spanish Pyrenees
  • Yes! They always left when we were coming close. We were there with a whole student group and had the full equipment to capture venomous snakes (gloves, fishing nets, terrarium). That was the only way to get some good close up pictures. If i had not been on a guided tour for biology students, i would have never found a snake, so dont worry about them! ☺️

  • Vultures in the Spanish Pyrenees
  • Thats going to be great! I was super impressed by their size and how cool they look in real life. It was my first time seeing vultures up close in nature and they are now my favourite birds because of this experience :)

  • Vultures in the Spanish Pyrenees

    Spain is one of a few european countries with a vulture population that is not declining. They have 5 species of Vultures, which (now again) breed in their natural habitat. Read more about vulture conversation: https://rewildingeurope.com/rewilding-in-action/wildlife-comeback/vultures/

    Aspisviper (Vipera aspis) in the Spanish Pyrenees
  • Yes! It was pretty good weather and they all came out to sunbathe in the morning. We actually only found them on the way up because the hike is pretty steep and you have to go slow. On the way down we did not see snakes, but it was also getting dark.

    During hiking to the Refugio Respomuso we found 7 of these venomous snakes directly on trail.
