Highly recommended - Hungry Vulture - We stopped at the African raptor sanctuary in Ashburton on an overcast morning. We had a stroll around. Looking at their beautiful birds, who have all been rehabilitated, but unfortunately, will never be able to be released back into the wild. We stopped at the White-Backed Vultures about ten minutes before feeding time. They were obviously impatient and the look it their eyes says it all. I love that this image captures the beauty as well as the emotion of the vulture. I had to be very careful not to get too close, for fear of losing a finger. -By Rochelle Bennett, Howick, Kwazulu-Natal Canon 1300D, Canon 70-300mm, ISO 1600, f/8, 1/395 sec
