A shot of a Griffon vulture flying below the photographer. Below the bird are blurred green trees and shrubs. The bird is very large and shades of brown, from light to dark. It has long broad wings with long fingers, a short tail and a small head. The head on this bird is actually red as it has just returned from eating.
