    I really enjoyed my time with these guys. Flying all around us, it was a case of pick one, aim, and fire. Magnificent experience with a magnificent bird !!

    Lovely flight image of the vultutre and I agree with you Victor . They are fascinating birds to observe. I like the eye level image and the excellent detail. Nice clean BG and the wing position really gives me the feeling of speed.. Very lovely capture Victor and thanks for sharing.

    super. i love how well you can see the expression on its face and enough DOF to get the wing pretty well. too bad the feet are a little shaded.

    is this south africa?

    Victor well captured. Although you don't get an idea of size on this bird from this angle the image certainly portrays the power this bird has.

    This Vulture has a definite determination in view. Great feather detail and beak is super. Very nice image indeed.

    He just pops in this so nicely Vic. Great feather detail, and superb colours in the OOF BG.

    Lovely shot, Victor. These are really impressive birds. I always find it awesome to watch them fly. Only niggle for me is the loose upper wing covert as the white competes for my attention with the eye.
