There are hundreds of little lizards who hang out on all the walls. People who have been here a while find them quite boring but we still say 'lizard!' in excitement every time we see one.
Lizard on one of our fences |
Perhaps more interestingly we see a lot of big birds from the house. We are not really sure what they are but they are ENORMOUS. Today we saw a smaller one attacking one of the bigger ones. Not sure why.
Taken from our front door - coming in for attack |
Taken from our front door - attack!! |
Also from the front door - what is it? |
Closer view - Golden Eagle? |
We saw 30 large birds circling opposite just before these ones flew close. But not sure if they were the same type, we suspect not as behaving a bit different - we think they were vultures but that this is not.
We also see a lot of deer but haven't managed to get a photo yet and we had a very brief glimpse of some wild boar in the wood above the house.
EDIT - Apparently the big bird is a Eurasian Griffon Vulture and the one mobbing it is a Common Buzzard
