Although can be found in many African countries the white-backed vulture is not a species occurring in large numbers and is one of the endangered species. On my site it is the fourth species of vulture, unfortunately with the poorest photos among other vultures’ galleries. But, as I wrote in the introductory text after arriving from South Africa, I have not seen yet the genuine wild Africa, it would be therefore necessary to arrange another trip to see wildlife in Africa and improve the quality of images in the gallery.

I have spent more than two days in  Bieszczady Mountains  searching for an Ural owl and it failed to bring the desired result. Despite a rather thick layer of snow and harsh weather conditions that favor the observation of these birds we could not even see at least one the Ural owl. The only trophy out of this trip are the first pictures of a white-backed woodpecker.

When the decision to travel to Sri Lanka was made, there were not many species I was especially interested to photograph there. But the white-bellied fish-eagle was the one I really wanted to have. This is the fourth in this family of birds. It is found from India, through Sri Lanka and Indonesia, as far as Australia. It occurs mainly on the coasts, as it preys on sea fish. It looks for the fish mainly at the water surface and sometimes catches quite large in size. We could watch the birds several times but mostly in the air against the sky.
