Dear HELGE : THANKS for the extraordinary Beautiful colours on the wings of this bird! I.e a DRAB Fulvus embellished by Aurora / early-morning light? ______________________________________ I am baffled by the HEAP of twigs (Danish: KVASBUNKE!) in its bill. Since schooldays, I believed that birds of prey transported nest material in their talons, as opposed to passerines and other birds - also learnt that vultures had relatively weak feet... But at least Bearded/Gypaetus is known to elevate and drop bones (presumably grabbed by the FEET?) to let them crash against cliffs and make marrow accessible. ____________________________ So an additional logistic VULTURINE question: Is nest material (if at all needed) commonly transported by bill ? K. rgds .......... C.

Thanks for your nice words, Carsten! I saw the vultures bring twigs on several occasions, always carrying in the beak. As they have chicks in there large nests, I believe the twigs are merely for cleaning the nest. Best regards, Helge

Dejlig fugl på en fin baggrund. Er billedet taget oppe fra Borgruinen ? Venlig hilsen. Hans Henrik.

Thanks HELGE, - so Vultures, too, appreciate Hygiene ! Let me add as a curiosity that the bright (lyse!) HEAD and distinct NECK feathers of YOUR vulture (partly due to twigs blurring its throat) make it compete with handsome Aquila and Haliaeêtus species. In Orwell's Newspeak: ADDED VALUE ? ____________________________________ PS: THANKS for Your WISE words in the Danish Radio, yesterday, about technical equipment, Luck, Knowledge and Codex in bird photography! May I add Diligence, Patience and a rich Artistic vein ? Yours ........... C.

Takker Hans Henrik og Carsten, billedet er ikke taget fra borgruinen, men fra P-pladsen foran Peñafalcon (Salto del Gitano). Begge steder gav iøvrigt rig lejlighed til at se gribbene i øjenhøjde. mvh. Helge
