Egyptian Vulture

These Egyptian Vultures really do have one of the best hairdo`s
I do have some shots of these flying but guess I haven`t put them on yet, guess I haven`t been through the three bird of prey centre photos yet!
It has sometimes also been known as the White Scavenger Vulture or Pharaoh's Chicken. Like other vultures it soars on thermals and the underwing black and white pattern and wedge tail make it distinctive. It sometimes uses stones to break the eggs of birds such as ostriches, making it one of the few birds that make use of tools.
