Yes the vulture photos were from the hides at the Buseu Project in the Spanish Pyrenees. Its where many of the natural history filmmakers go if they want to film bearded vultures.

Jill came across a shoplifter in the village shop yesterday. She hid a huge muffin under her coat & then stuffed moist baps down her trousers. When challenged this deranged woman told Jill to frack off & called her a blob. Simple Sally chased her off with a mop & a blow torch. 😱
