Bearded Vulture - I cracked

been sort of putting off the inevitable for a long time waiting for a tail but it was only 90 minutes away and easy to see - seen from 07:30 to 09:00 then it didn't reappear until 16:00 moving to the nest roost site at 16:30

some left overs from the Spanish hide trip -- this bird made all too brief visits so not a lot of time to frame any images -- all with Canon 1D4 and 300 2.8 II
