[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Les vautours sont des oiseaux nécrophages, présents sur presque tous les continents. Ils se nourrissent principalement de carcasses d'animaux.

La principale caractéristique anatomique des vautour est leur tête dépourvue de plumes. Ils ont également souvent un long cou. On attribue souvent un rôle adaptatif à ce caractère, car leur mode d'alimentation contraint leur tête à être très souvent recouverte de sang, endroit particulièrement difficile à nettoyer.

Christian,
In case anyone wonders, this is Torgos tracheliotus (Lappet-faced Vulture), an adult.

Hello Christian,
Very good sharp photo of the Vulture. Beautiful light and colours. Good composition: a bit too much centred.
Regards,
Peter
