Monfrague was also where I photographed S.I.Eagles. I saw them out on the plains too - on a rainy day I watched 2 adults lift off and give a display of synchronised flying after seeing off a Black Kite which tried to mob one of them. Majestic stuff. This immature bird in Monfrague was easier to photograph as it kept coming back to spar with the Griffons and called loudly as it approached. Its tail was incomplete but it was still a magnificent sight. But look how massive those Vultures are!
