Lovely picture. I love vultures too! They are a miracle by nature. The more you study them the more you will love them. Great picture. Congrats!

This is an African White-Headed Vulture and is called either Sitara or Angus, the Hawk Conservancy have two that do demonstrations there. They are gorgeous birds. I love all vultures. x

Gorgeous bird, I love vultures, although I'm not so keen on the hooded vulture, I prefer the ones with white/grey fluffy heads like the griffin or white-backed vulture.

I need to know them better to tell them apart, but I think I like them all for now

I agree. Everything's the right shape and colour for White-headed.

Since being picky is what I do, I can't help but point out that the species name is Hooded, not Hooved, Vulture. Nice shot
According to the internet though, a juvenile hooded vulture is supposed to look like this [link] so I'm not so sure about the ID...

Thanks, I just tried to look up other images and it seems inconclusive. I do hope to visit the place I got this photo again soon, so will pay more attention if I haven't found out otherwise by then.

I love this picture! It seems like you took the picture just as the bird is about to ask something like"who are you?" or "what are you doing?"

More like "where's the food?"

Nice pic! And yes, it's a Hooved Vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) from Africa. A young one, it seems.
