Egyptian vulture, snake eagle in Extremadura, Spain

After earlier on 18 April 2016, we are on that day still in Extremadura, Spain. We go back, uphill from the river valley. Crested larks on the dirt road.

An Egyptian vulture flying.

It flies closer to us.

A hoopoe calls.

Many red sandspurry flowers in the middle of the road.

Later, along the road, gum rockrose flowers.

In the dehesa behind a fence, a red deer.

While we walk in the dehesa, a short-toed snake eagle flies past.

In the distance, we see the church of Jaraicejo village already.

In a lakelet, common water-crowfoot flowers.

A bit further, a holly oak flowering.
