Whales, Dolphins and Birdwatching in Picos de Europa National Park

Last June we share two birdwatching days with 28 english birdwatchers. It was  a five days activity with Whales, Dolphins and Birdwatching in Picos de Europa National Park, organized by Wesex Continental , In Picos de Europa, we did two birdwatching routes, focused in alpine birds and raptors.

First day, we tried to find alpine birds. The day was cloudy with a very low visibility. However, we could enjoy some of them: Snowfinch, Alpine Accentor, Water Pipit, Yellow and Red Billed Chough, Black Redstart, Northern Wheatear and also some Cantabrian Chamois.

The second day, the weather was almost sunny, and we had good sightings of raptors, specially a young Bearded Vulture called Biziele and belonged to the reintroduction project. Furthermore we saw Egyptian Vulture, Short Toed Eagle, Common Krestel and a great number of Grifon Vultures.
