Hi Ivo, this is an amazing photo. I really like the action in it. Can you please describe how to find this place "Vulchi Dol"? Did you use any kind of hide or something, to be able to get this great photo?

Thanks for sharing!

Hello Ivo, splendid sharpness in this image. The landing vulture gives it also motion and makes it a very vivid image. I like the waiting hooded crow on the left.
Compliments, Jacob
