Bob Wickham replied

I was looking very shaky on my bicycle so maybe he had dinner on his mind.

Grand shot, grand background, lovely bird. The above commenters seem to think you’re carrion. I myself am quite partial to Turkey Vultures; what would we do without scavengers? Unless you’re carrion.
Bob Wickham replied

Thanks Sheila. The judge in my local camera club said he was “ugly”, but I think they’re beautiful. And I hope I’m not carrion, not yet anyway :)
