🐾 The Egyptian mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon), is a species native to the tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands of Africa and around the Mediterranean Basin in North Africa, the Middle East and the Iberian Peninsula.

🪵 They live on the ground and prefer regions with trees near water. They hide and find shelter in burrows, hollow logs or trees, holes in the ground, and rock crevices, especially at night. They have a long face, small rounded ears, short legs with five digits on each limb and foreclaws that are sharp and curved for digging. They have sharp teeth (which I can attest to, having been bitten by one in Africa!) that are well developed for shearing flesh. If threatened they can bristle their hair and arch their back to appear about twice as big as their actual size!

🦗 Their diet consists of insects, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.

🐦 This kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) thought that she’d got lucky and caught two fish in one go, but the second fish managed to escape and fell back into the water to live another day!

🐦 As mentioned earlier in the week I hoped to photograph kingfishers in some nice autumn light and I wasn’t disappointed! I spent a few hours photographing this female kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) in gorgeous golden autumnal light.

🐟 In the autumn kingfishers feed and build-up reserves, hunting intensively from low overhanging branches, riverbanks, and wetland perches to fatten up and survive the coming cold months

🦅 The Eurasian Griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus) is a large attractive and social bird, feeding and roosting in groups and breeding in large colonies on steep cliffs that can contain hundreds of birds. They are nature’s clean-up crew and feed mainly on the softer parts of carcasses, their long necks enabling them to reach far into the carcass without getting snagged.

🐦 They have a whitish head and neck, pale brown body and contrasting dark flight feathers. The young are more of a pale brown rather than white neck ruff. Interestingly, some populations are resident while others are highly migratory.

💢 Following a decline in the 20th century caused primarily by humans, the species has seen a healthy increase in numbers in recent years, particularly in Spain, France and Portugal. In Spain for instance where these photos were take, there are estimated to be around 17,000 pairs.
