Experience Description: The first part of the day will allow us to explain the process of recovering a species at risk of extinction: the bearded vulture, from the 1980s to today, led by FCQ (Foundation for the Conservation of the Bearded Vulture) specialists. What caused its gradual disappearance? What issues have been tackled? What have been the key factors in its slow but steady recovery, and which actors have been involved from a conservation and scientific perspective? This activity takes place at the Eco Museum of Aínsa Castle and includes a full visit to the museum and observation of the non-releasable bearded vultures (this can take place the afternoon before the hide session or the afternoon of the hide session day—confirm at the time of booking). Duration: 2 hours.
The second part begins at 9:00 AM, with photographers being picked up and transferred to the photographic hides. Once settled in, the feeding takes place. The site is frequented by two pairs of bearded vultures in the area, griffon vultures (up to 300 individuals), red kites, and ravens. In spring or summer, Egyptian vultures (three breeding pairs nearby) and black kites may also be present. Although the black vulture is not common, its presence and photography are possible. The sessions end around 2:00 PM, and photographers walk back to the parking area (1 km away).
