Vulture Hide Photography
The Eastern Rhodopes is a mountain of rolling hillsides alternating with rugged landscape of jagged peaks, towering cliffs and sparsely vegetated, boulder-strewn slopes. Exceptional biodiversity – a result of the impact of the Mediterranean and continental climate – is concentrated in a small area. The diversity of birds of prey is amazing – 36 species of the 39 recorded in Europe can be seen there. However, the most spectacular feature of the region is the colony of Griffon Vultures.
