Today was a day much like yesterday. First of all, sunny yet again. Breakfast at 7:30 and departure by 8:15. But today we went into the nearby national park, Monfrague. We spent the day there at several different locations, culminating at the Monfrague castle that sits on top of a mountain. It provided an excellent viewpoint looking down onto soaring vultures and storks, but also has history dating back to the 12th century.
Among the birds we saw today were the black vulture, black stork, and the great spotted cuckoo, just arrived from its migration from Africa. Each day we’re seeing quite a few new birds.
Lunch was a picnic in the park and dinner will be at the same restaurant in Trujillo tonight. It was warm again today, maybe more than 70. Another great day!
