Griffon vulture, a photo from Aquitaine, West

Taken during our walk in the Pyrénées. We saw it landing and our path was under it. I walked cautiously and framed hoping it would fly. After a while it took off and I was ready!

Salut Claude,
Belle capture ... photo ! Parfait timing au moment de l'envol, le cadrage est parfait avec la large place laissée à gauche dans la direction que prend le rapace. Jolie lumière et fond de ciel bleu.

Bonjour Claude,
Beautifully anticipated to this opportunity with an enchanting result.
The Griffon vulture rises as if he were sitting on the engine shell of a sporty car brand.
Excellent observation!
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Dear Claude,

You captured the vulture's start just at the right moment, in a very heroic pose.

Best Wishes,
Gy.
