Wednesday morning we looked out to see a huge flock of very big birds circling overhead They turned out to be Griffon Vultures on their migration trip to Africa.Glad I didn't know they were vultures as they might have been looking for me.This is supposed to be one of the most healthy places in the world to live But 300 vultures Do they know something I don't???? :? :? :?

    Wow, that must have been a cool sight though..?
    I know us Arthur sufferers might feel dead sometimes but I am sure you'll be safe from them, lol..

    Where are you if you don't mind me asking? I would have loved to have seen them.

    They have probably spotted your old hip, carelessly chucked aside on a hill somewhere. They are stripping it of flesh as I type! DD
