In the cloud and rainy dog walk today. Embracing these weeks of bad weather knowing full well summer will be here too soon and it will be too hot!

Two dogs with their backs to the camera. One black and white and one white stood on an ancient rocky muddy mule track, a ruin with almond and olive trees around it and the mule track curving in front. Through the cloud you can just make out the village below.

Looking forward to the hillsides being covered in Almond blossom. We are having a proper winter, the blossom is being delayed and no doubt when February comes it will be glorious. The picture is from a few years ago.

A bee heavily laden with yellow pollen on her legs resting on an almond flower before flying back to the hive. The almond flower has white petals with pink smudge in the centre.

Here is an up close picture of an Andean Condor, who I affectionately named Cindy, her partner I named Cyrl, ā¤ļø from our recent trip to Patagonia. We spent a lot of time with these particular birds as they live on cliffs close to the town of El Chalten. We had some pretty close encounters at times as they came into land. Fabulous birds. Only the female has the red eye.

A close up picture of an Andean Condor flying below the photographer as she was coming into land on the cliff. The bird is mostly black, but has a white ruff on her neck and white bands of feather towards the back of the wings. A bald greyish head and beak and red eye.

Today's dog walk reminded us that Arko has a fear, bridges & drops.Maybe his eye sight is not so good now šŸ¤· A year or so ago he refused to walk past the swimming pool, there's no water in there, but a greenhouse! Middle of last year he decided he wasn't going out, or in, the steps leading out of the garden, he will only go through the main gates. I put on his lead and encouraged him across the bridge he'd turned back from.

Video showing one white dog crossing a bridge over a river. The second dog, black and white husky starts to cross but gets scared and turns around off the bridge running past the person taking the video. The second part of the video shows rather than take the bridge, like the humans, two dogs ford the river. First goes the black and white husky, followed shortly after by smaller white dog. They both love the water but it does get a little deep before they exist the river.

What a beautiful moving film ā¤ If you get chance do spend some time watching it and spreading the word. Filmed over twenty years around the world: The powerful true story of how one womanā€™s heart opened wide enough to hold fifty childrenā€”and change their lives forever.

I thought "they' (whoever they are) said living or getting in the countryside is good for your health, better air quality etc! Hmmm not today in Lanjaron it isn't, someone must have said today is the day to burn the garden rubbish. Looks like Spain will have overshot their emissions target for 2026 in one day šŸ¤­

Meet Balthazar, the oldest Bearded Vulture ever recorded in the wild. An unexpected rescue ā€” an incredible story 37 years in the making. Released in 1988, he was recently rescued by the same conservation programmeā€”and some of the same peopleā€”who once raised and released him. A rare and moving loop in time.

Nice to be home after 3 days travelling. Reunited with the dogs, cats and computer. I shall be catching up with Mastodon.

I spent ages trying to capture this Patagonian Sierra Finch. It landed in a tree close by. It was rarely still and with the infamous Patagonian wind blowing strong it was hiding out. Just briefly it came to my side of the branch and momentarily hung upside down!

Not long now and I will be seeing these again ā¤ In fact if this one is still alive I'll be seeing this exact Andean Condor šŸ§

An Andean Condor rest on a rock ledge. Right to centre left is a rock with various lichens on it. The bird is resting just beyond with a grey background. The bird is looking side on at the photographer. The bird is a very big black bird with white wings. A grey bold head and a red eye.

How about some death defying antics from a Spanish Ibex šŸ˜± While waiting for the vultures to wake up one of the many other animals that were on the move already was this Ibex. It walked along this so called ledge on the side of cliff (you'd become vulture food if you fell), it hit a dead end so decided to turn around (how I have no idea), then it jumped up where you see the light green bushes!

Griffon vultures seem to be what my posts are about just now! Up close and personal with some this past week. These were not as shy as the others we saw a few weeks back, probably because they were flying and not on the ground. You can read a bit more about these fabulous birds at this link :- 4vultures.org/vultures/griffon

A close up shot of a Griffon vulture. The picture shows the detail of the feathers which are various shades of brown. You can just see the off white head, eye and beak of the bird.

That moment when your heart sinks because all the periscopes come up and you know you've been spotted šŸ˜• šŸ˜…

A picture showing a lot of Griffon vultures on the ground, all the heads are up and most are looking towards the photographer. They are waiting at a feeding station in the hope some food will be delivered, which wasn't while we were there, it's not a daily occurrence but it seems the vultures would like to disagree.

We had no view on the dog walk today. We are getting some badly needed rain, only 10.2mm so far, but better than nothing and better than heavy destructive rain. We still had to visit the little fuente in the bamboo cave for the dogs to get a drink šŸ’¦

A few wild horses were seen on our latest walk in the mountains. These three were having a snooze šŸ„± until we woke them up.

Three wild horses stood in line. The first horse is dark brown with a black mane and tail. The second horse is the same colour. The third, a foal, is dark gray with a white blaze down it's face. They are stood among rocks and low vegetation.

The first Saturday of September is International Vulture Awareness Day. Today we celebrate these marvelous birds and learn facts about natures cleaners.

A shot of a Griffon vulture flying below the photographer. Below the bird are blurred green trees and shrubs. The bird is very large and shades of brown, from light to dark. It has long broad wings with long fingers, a short tail and a small head. The head on this bird is actually red as it has just returned from eating.

I've had this video marked for a very long time to watch (the video is now 9 years old). Today I watched it. It's incredibly moving and beautifully filmed. There are some truly wonderful people in this world of horror that we find ourselves. It is so important to keep our keystone species alive.
Twenty three minutes of your life that will be well spent.

Look at this big beautiful boy who turned up at our camp the other night. It's always wonderful to see a big male Spanish Ibex. He looked in great condition.

A large male Spanish Ibex standing side on, head turned to look at the photographer. He has two large curved horns from his head. Black face, large eyes, pale throat, body is mostly brown with pale parts with black patches towards his belly. Black stripe down the front of each leg and pale on the back of each leg. He is stood in a rocky landscape with lots of short green vegetation around him.

A sweet little Long-tailed Tit family were searching for food in the trees this morning ā¤ They never stay still for long, always on the move. Regular visitors to the garden. This one sat still for a second which allowed me to get a shot.

A small bird sat on a twig in tree. The bird has a long tail, compared to the size of the bird. It has a small dark beak, a little eye surrounded by a white face and throat and a black head stripe above from the beak to the back of the head. The body is very light brown.

This whole scene actually really creeped me out, it's taken a good week for me to be able to process the pictures and still it makes feel šŸ¤¢

A spider hunting wasp dragging a wolf spider up the side of a some old pool tiles. The pool tiles are various shades of blue. The wasp is ascending backwards up the tiles, using it's mouth (I think) to hold the spider. The two creatures faces are together. The wasp is orangey brown in colour. The spider is brown. This is an edit of the text, I had it down as a European Hornet but have been made aware that is indeed a spider hunting wasp.

Spot the Golden Oriole! This was one of the young, hiding in our neighbours eucalyptus tree a week ago. They have now left us and are on the most dangerous journey of their young lives. It's time to migrate (along with many other bird species) and head back to Africa after breeding. It's a signal that summer is coming to an end, although it never feels like it in August!

Mostly green leaves of a eucalyptus tree, but behind some you can just make out a bird. It's a young Golden Oriole. It's black eye is peaking out from under a leaf, it has a slight yellow patch at the back of the head, the throat and chest are off white, with brown streaks and a hint of yellow. The closed wings are brown.

Disaster averted! There's been a wildfire nearby, the fire planes have been busy flying over the house for a few hours. I was photographing a pair of Booted eagles when all of a sudden a fire plane came and joined the scene! The eagle managed to dodge the plane. It could have ended very badly for both the eagle and the occupants of the plane but thankfully that did not happen!

Awe this always brings a smile to my face. When Khumbu went camping in the Sierra Nevada mountains for 4 days in 2013, clever husky he was, sent this message :-
"Dear Hu'mum, having a good time. Saved everybody last night from a fox during a storm. In trouble today cos I ran away. Eating clients food. No more dog biscuits please. See you soon. Love Khumbu"

A black and white husky laying on his side on the grass fast asleep. There is a red tent hind him, a yellow sleep mat beside him and a blue water bladder beside that.

It might be but you can't be silent about the Italian Dolomites. It's been a year since we returned from our trip there, what a stunning area.

Passion flowers are so intricate and a bit crazy with their designs.

A Passion flower with it's crazy design. Maybe 8 white petals are the bottom, on top of those are white a purple needle shape petals of the flower fanning out. Towards the centre dark purple and green parts fan around the stamen. The stamen is light green with five or so yellow bit attached and above that there is more craziness with three wibbly purple and green stems ending with a bottom shape!

It's all about finding water on the dog walks at this time of year. Here the dogs found some in a catchment in an acequia. They look pretty happy to be in it.
