Fantastic bird watching in Pervolakia Gorge
It is Friday, 21 October 2022. Actually, I still had to do some painting work on the balconies, but the wind put a brake on it. On days like this, a gorge hike is a good idea. Of course I was curious to see if there were any nests of young griffon vultures in the Vulture Gorge (it is correctly called Pervolakia Gorge, according to the mountain village of Kato Pervolakia above)? I had already had this experience during my last two autumn visits. In fact, my “miracle” was richly rewarded: at least 5 nests were approached! In three nests I saw young birds, the other two nests were unfortunately in the shade. Watching the adults in their incredibly energy-saving thermal and wind dynamic flights is also an experience. As a glider pilot, I am cheering along with them and imagine that these birds are really enjoying themselves (there’s nothing to eat up there).
