Cinereus vulture ( Aegypius monachus)

Cinereus vulture (Aegypius monachus), I photographed this vulture gnawing the bones of a sheep's pelvis in the Extremadura region (Spain). Nikon d 500, Sigma 150-600 sport, f / 6.0, 1/2500 sec, ISO 1000. Thanks for your comments

This vulture is just playing an important ecological role to prevent the spread of diseases from rotting corpses, ciao Sandor

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

a very detailed and well exposed capture of this vulture. As Sandor said, the vulture is cleaning up after nature, preventing the spread of diseases. I like the amount of detail in this photo. Kind regards, Vincent

I appreciate the close crop emphasizing the business end of this wonderfully adapted scavenger.

Grazie mille Sandor for your interesting observations, ciao Giangiorgio

I like how close one feels to the action, Giangiorgio. The colors, light and composition are amazing. One thing about nature, it takes care of itself. A very bold and colorful image with wonderful details. Best regards, Paul.
