You might want to check the ID of this fellow. It's definately not a Turkey Vulture. Vultures have bare, unfeathered heads and much different beaks.

Thanks,
I'm pretty sure it is a Bateleur I have found a couple of other photographs that are taken in the same sanctury, the consensus of those is the Bateleur, Of course the first one I found whn trying to identify it was wrong. Just shows you can only trust what you find on the internet so much..
Thanks for your help..

Or a Bateleur Eagle as Nachii Says.. Ive seen it described as both from the same location the same place..
so I'm now confused !!! even more than usual...
Im pitching for the Bateleur (Terathopius ecaudatus)
Unless any one knows Different !!!
