This morning we walked into an impressive rock garden at the foot of the Cambureru Canal. However, most of our time is spent exploring the mountain town and in the early afternoon we take up a commanding position in old Bulnes overlooking the valley. The imposing peak of Castu Colluges to the west, stained in streaks of orange and blue minerals and echoing with the raucous cry of Alpine choughs is on our left. The massive bulk of Cabeza la Mesa’s sheer South face on the opposite side of the valley fills our forward vision. It is across this smooth rock curtain that I watch for the bold shadows of vultures before pinpointing the real things, which in turn lead my eye to guano stained ledges where I can study the perched and squabbling birds through a fieldscope.
