White Backed Vulture

An African White-backed Vulture in atypical vulture pose. It’s a picture which I felt led itself quite well to monochrome. This one is captive, which I took in a rehabilitation centre near Limpopo, South Africa. He’ll remain there for the rest of his days, having suffered a broken wing, of which never healed properly.

Taken using a Nikon D200 with a 100-300 f4.0 lens at f/4.0, 1/640 and ISO 400
