Is it a Rüppell’s Griffon Vulture? Just a guess!……….lol My first thought when I saw it was a bird of prey, something with a long body and I thought of a vulture. Couldn’t find one that looked the same, but when looked at your recent images, I see you have been to London Zoo, then checked what vultures they have there and lo and behold, “there it was”: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9...
Great! :-)
Vulture is good enough and the fact that you thought vulture before you googled/wiki’d it, is brilliant… yes it is a griffon vulture and I shall upload “proper” photos of them in the next couple of days :-D
