Wonderful detail, Gudrun. There is a sad look in his eye though. Can he fly free?

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Genau an der Stelle hat mit mal eine der rumfligenden Krähen eine Erinnerung auf mein erhabenes Haupt gesetzt - ekelig!

Iii, so ein Sch..! Ich hatte zum Glück noch nie das Vergnügen, aber eine Studienkollegin hat mal eine Taube in der Opernpause erwischt- Frisur und schwarzes Kleid;-)

Wow, it's both beautiful and a little bit terrifying. Great photo, Gudrun!

Gudrun ^club has replied to Diane Putnam ^club

Many thanks, Diane! They occupy an important ecological niche, getting rid of dead animals:-)

7 years ago.

Diane Putnam ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Yes, they do. I read in National Geographic a few years ago that vultures in India and the Himalayan region are dying out, for some reason. It's causing even more sanitary problems than usual due to carcasses lying around where they aren't wanted.

7 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Diane Putnam ^club

It's a massive man-made problem. Vultures are being poisoned everywhere, by eating animals that have been poisoned as pests, by eating cattle that has been treated with diclofenac...

7 years ago.

Diane Putnam ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Ah, poison, thanks for the reminder. The thought of no more vultures...what a nightmare.
