Better not leave any food lying around. Nice cloud formation in the background of the first vulture image. Black to grey ones here, I recorded 60.2MPH windspeed at lunchtime, just behind the house.

Nikon D850 with my 80-400mm at full reach plus x1.4 1/1000 sec 650 ISO Very impressive image Graham. I guess you needed to keep moving when being scrutinised like that by a vulture.

You only have to worry if you are dead as they never take live prey. The Black Vulture is 2nd largest flying bird in the world with over 9 foot wingspan. They are listed as vulnerable and this part of Spain is one of the only places in Europe you can see them. They are very high up so photography is not easy yesterday was lucky as the were lower looking for hot air. The D850 is producing nearly 100% sharp images on 25 point area focus on C. I first started using 75 points and got a lot of nearly sharp images. Perhaps I am learning how to do it after 5 days here?

The black vulture has been reintroduced into the Cevennes region of France and is doing well. We only managed to see one at a distance when there last year....but lots of Griffons.

Plenty of detail but you will not see it on this JPG That reminds me of the old joke about the farmer who bought a prize rooster. It tore around the chicken coup 'servicing' every hen...several times. It flew into the geese compound and serviced them too. It flew to the pond and serviced all the ducks. The farmer watched in amazement at it's stamina and prowess but was then horrified to see it finally collapse on its back in the farmyard. Dashing to the dead bird, the rooster "shooshed!" him, winked and pointed to the circling vultures. Sorry I will get my hat.
