On a Sunday morning in the beginning of November 2008 we were having coffee on our terraces when suddenly we saw some huge birds. But within minutes it were 50 or more. We jumped up to get the binoculars and looked to our amazement at vultures.

The went in the direction of the ocean but suddenly realized that the ocean was not the place to be for them and they turned. And yes, right across our house.
 
Unfortunately we couldn´t find our video camera fast enough so made a small film with our photo camera. For those of you who want to see it please watch below.
