Egyptian Vulture portrait

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Portrait of an Egyptian vulture. This is an adult. They are also known as pharoah's chicken. Mainly into scavenging but when there is an opportunity to kill a small prey they don't let it go waste.

Shot at 800mm (Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS USM plus EF 2xII TC), f8, 1/320

Beautiful details. The side profile highlights all its features. The hooked tip of the upper mandible and the long neck feathers forming a hackle clearly visible. Thanks for sharing.
