Lammergeier (Gypaetus barbatus)

Another from the French Pyrènèes and never have I got out of the car so quickly. Crossing from Spain at the Col d'Aubisque I saw a flock of vultures circling and we assumed they were all Griffons. A parking spot arrived as I realised my mistake and I got this shot of the Queen of the Skies moments later.
