Vulture Head Rock?

It does have a name and it isn't this! Unfortunately, I forget what it is and I forget where I found out before!
The wonderful world of Sierra de la Cabrera granite. In the distance, Pico de La Miel.
I recall this as being the hottest day I have experienced in the sierra, so far!

Could be a "pilot bird"...

I've already changed it to 'vulture' as it more accurately reflects the ornithology of the area!
Thank you, Andrea but it wasn't that, although a good guess! (but a bit too far inland!!!)

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Dominique 60 ^club

My original title, and the one to which Andrea responded was exactly that; Eagle Head Rock. But I decided it looked more like the Griffon vultures of the area. You may, in fact, be right!

Thank you, Jurgen. If you, as a vulture got a bad thermal and crashed into the granite, you would be very grateful for a helmet, I agree!
This could run and run!! :o)

Must have been a vulture troll who was careless and was turned to granite when he saw the sun;-)

we two have all pictures from 2011--2012---etc i know a lot from your time in pano,,,and you know a lot of mine i think???

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Fred Fouarge ^club

I took many in those years. I still find some that weren't posted on Pano but you are right - many were. I asked someone about this (William, Rene or Sami, possibly) and was was told; 'Go ahead, there are many non-Pano members who would be pleased to see them'. Sorry if you are bored with seeing the same shots twice, Fred!! :o)
