Incredible Vulture Photograph

The Common Vulture (Gyps fulvus) is found in the Iberian Peninsula, North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia to India.They nest on the cliffs of the mountains, sometimes on trees. The nest is not very elaborate, with construction started a couple of weeks before laying. Some couples prefer to nest alone, sometimes in colonies that may have hundreds. The usual clutch is one egg, there are reports of two eggs. Incubation takes around 55 days and is carried by both parents. The pigeons fly for the first time around 135 days of age.
