Bearded Vulture
 

I have not started building a project yet Dale but I just found someone whose ideas I may try to adapt. His rare bird is a lammergier with a wingspan of nearly 10ft ... very scarce vulture. More details at birdinginspain.com and here's 8 min video in 40Mbs ...

Brendan, Thanks for the link to that video. I would love to go there

... for flight sequences I can still only offer this sort of handheld XM2 ...

... from western Spain and maybe better from Crete on the same site. The Bearded Vulture was filmed (not by me) on mid-slopes of Pyrenees

Brendan,


Hand held???? If so you have a lot steadier hand than I do!!!

Shows you the old gl2/xm2 can still get some awesome footage, even if we haved moved onward to slightly higher level cameras!!!

I'm off for 3 weeks to get a 10sec uncluttered flight sequence of this beauty, if I'm lucky ...
