Griffin vultures on cliff top

Griffin vultures on cliff top (Neophron percnopterus)

The vultures were rather distant so tripod and x1.5 multiplier on my Sigma 170-500 lens was needed. However the vultures were swooping arround and putting on a great display. Some were nesting on the rocks opposite with chicks. As there was a river and a gorge between the road and them they were not concerned about photo shoots.
