Griffon Vulture Webcam in Portugal

[garina do mar]

Hi all
You're all welcome! I love those birds so you can ask any thing. Unfortunately I don't have much time to come here but I try to, at least, inform you on the most important things

[Manu]

Garina : Thank you so much for this very interesting informations about the Griffon vultures in Portugal.

Black storcks are here
There was one over the river on the upper left corner




And then she left

Garina we'll keep an eye out but the chances seem slim the Black Stork will nest here as there are so many nests already. Or not ?

Hi
The BS will nest in this area. Maybe even 2 couples.
Their nest last year was under what I called "nest 2" so we cannot see it, and I think that maybe that nest is occupied by GV also
The cam is now closer in order to find out, as we can see the birds flying in and out.
But even if we don't see the nest, we will see them several times as they stop many times in the several platforms we can see

The cam is now focused on "nest 1". The will be born one of these days. Soon :peek:

We have the first GV
Yesterday it was still on the egg shelter




But this morning was already very dynamic

[garina do mar]

A very dynamic It already asks for food and moves a lot

Fireblade,thank you for the video. Otherwise I'd never remember to come here and look.
That GV chick looks very good.

Hi all
One month later, news from the young GV
The younger one (the cam is much closer to this nest than to the others)


The midlle one (still hidden from the trees)


And the older one

[macdoum]

Garina,thanks so much for the updates. A very successful year then for the GV's

Any sign of Black storks nesting ?

Any sign of Black storks nesting ?

No. I'ven't been there yet. We know that they are there but their nest from last year is also taken by GV

[garina do mar]

Hi all
A new on the griffon vultures cam. This nest is difficult to see but on the weekend we expect that there will be another chick on the nest closer to the cam
