The Eagle Fortress is really that, the beautiful remains of a real fortress, surrounded by mountains and the home for over 45 different species of birds of prey. We spent two magical hours there. The site is close to Beaucens, a little bit outside Aquitaine in the Hautes Pyrénées.
The setting is beautiful
The prey birds are imposing
Here you see it attack....
... a bait to show us how they hunt
The vultures were mighty and flew so low they touched my head twice!
This intelligent bird used stones to break an egg
And this one knows how to kill snakes by stomping their head
By the end came the smaller birds and the parrots
I loved watching the children; smiling but impressed
This one talked alot!
