I think there is 10 to 15 nests on the wall, there is more than 30 Vultures. They must be in the small caves ;-)
I have searched to climb the mountain in front, to be at the same hight of the nests... but no way, so too difficult to go 0*\

Each time I tried to have this red UFO... each time I see "only" a Grasshopper, need a long time to understand that is not a Butterfly lol

Grasshopper, beetle, birdies - looks great to me. Not so much the noisy people though. ^0^

Interesting nesting place! :shock:
