A great closeup aerial image of this Vulture JJ and beautifully captured buddy!

Have to agree, that is a very impressive wing span.

An excellent, frame filling image, VV.

Amazing capture, JJ ! This one with that impressive wing span we do not see here, but we have the Osprey, the wing span of this one is just a little less impressive; in the Netherlands we nickname this one ´de vliegende deur´, the flying door!
Thanks for your kind comment on my Curlew with prey posting!

A cracking detailed in flight close up, lighting and capture JJ, lovely job and many tfs.
 
Good close up - images like this are great for the gallery, often vultures are either on the ground or too high up to get good underwing views! Tfs
 
A brilliant wingspan and a brilliant well framed capture JJ. A great shot, well done.

Another extremely impressive raptor, and another excellent shot JJ. This bird looks absolutely colossal!
