Description
I think it's a Cape griffon / Cape vulture (Gyps coprotheres) based on this photo www.sabirdstamps.com/Photo%20A… , but I'm not 100% sure. Taken at Monde Sauvage.Related content

It looks quite similar to the griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus). It may be that species ass well, but I'm not sure.

That's the other one I considered as well. They seem closely related anyway. I chose Cape griffon based on this picture www.sabirdstamps.com/Photo%20A… but that's of course assuming the person who labelled that one didn't make a mistake.

It looks a lot like that bird too. I know the European bird quite well, but the other birds not that good, so I'm afraid I can't give you a definitive answer..

Honestly? No idea. I love taking pictures but I suck at technicalities and I haven't ever bought a camera myself. I just semi-permanently borrow my dad's collection

Lucky you!! Tell your dad that I'd also like to "semi-permanently borrow" some of his cameras and lenses!
