Yes i'd agree the latest pic is definitely a turtle or suchlike, and i hope it didn't come to any harm. The original pic in post #1 is a female Sprawk. And as has been well put by others, on a decent view the 2 species are generally readily separable, by bulk and jizz.

Suggests there's a Lammergeier around. You didn't also see a Greek chappie named Aeschylus there, by any chance?

Would be a good comparison, almost a flying contortionist!....not only that, but also managing to compact itself to the point of looking smaller than the accompanying Corvid, when it's actually somewhat bigger than. :eek!:

Another point that I missed (just as well I didn't take up Birding), on the 2nd image original pics, assuming of course that it's not a pixel aberration!....when enlarged! it appears to be wearing a set of size 10's. :eek!:

Cheers
