Long Billed Vulture in Flight

[Bibhav Behera]

Just back from Ramnagara where I had an awesome sighting of 8 Vultures along with 2 nestlings.

Posting an image of one in flight. More images coming soon...

Canon EOS 1000D, Canon EF 300 f/4L IS

Nice shot.I love it.

It seems to be carrying nesting material. If I remember right, the vultures are at a great distance (more than 45 meters as shown by the 50D exif) and even a long tele falls short. The wing is nicely stretched upwards. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

From where we were clicking they would be around 40 metres away or so. But they were flying to places slightly closer and perching for a couple of minutes to collect nesting material and then flying back. Will post images of them in their usual perches as well.

Nice flight pose captured. Wish it was a bit more parallel to you, for more eye contact. Look forward to more. Thanks for sharing.
