One of my favourite species of vulture. <3
The Lammergeier, also known as a Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus) is a huge bird that feeds mainly on bone marrow.
I saw my first living, breathing, one of these birds not that long ago. It was a juvenile, and flew absolutely stunning in a bird of prey demonstration.
Got some photographs. Can't wait until I finally get to see another. :D
