Good to see an egyptian vulture after a long time. I had seen a Kite sitting over flap-shell turtle but haven't seen Egyptian vulture killing a turtle. Hope to see someday.

Cheers,

Nice pose and the eye contact looks good. Its good you got both of them in the frame. Wish they were closer for more details. Next time you can try to go and sit patiently or use a hide to get them closer. Thanks for sharing.
