Looks old and wise. Like it has all the Spanish history written in his wings. I think Mr Segovia too was almost 100 years old when giving his last arpeggios. Brilliant work, Marian. Much more scary than tits here.. :clap: :t:

Its a great shot Marian, you have caught it just right, showing off those enormous wings and showing the ease of how these birds soar!!!
I was lucky enough to see one on Majorca a few years ago, along with Egyptian and also Black Vulture. Great birds and great shot!!!

I was hoping to go down to Spain this summer to see these 'monsters' up close and personal......but could not find the time!

I was going to go next summer.......but now I dont need to!......when I have my own little 'Vulture Reporter' at the tips of my fingers.......Lovely, Marian. Well taken.
