    Congratulations Mark Dumbleton
    Bearded Vulture Fight

    These vultures, estimated at only 204 Pairs left in the Drakensburg region in South Africa. I feel very privelaged to have been able to photograph them and feel this is one of my favorite Avian images ever taken. Image captured at Giants Castle, South Africa. These birds normally only take to flight as the hot air rises from the earth, and was lucky this day to have overcast conditions to eliminate the harsh light of midday, when this photograph was taken.
