Landing!

There are only few thousand pairs of Egyptian vultures in the world

now. Due the rapid declining population in last decades it's been

declared an Endangered (EN) - a species which has been categorized by

the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List as

likely to become extinct.

Amazing shot, I'm really impressed.. :-)

Regards.
