Pretty boy! (Torgos tracheliotos)

Rather bizarrely this guy was perched up on a large boulder by the side of the track. I think he had eaten so much the evening before that he was grounded overnight and was waiting for the new day's thermals to form.
We were able to pull-up level to him to take some close-up images.
