You only have to worry if you are dead as they never take live prey. The Black Vulture is 2nd largest flying bird in the world with over 9 foot wingspan. They are listed as vulnerable and this part of Spain is one of the only places in Europe you can see them.
They are very high up so photography is not easy yesterday was lucky as the were lower looking for hot air.
The D850 is producing nearly 100% sharp images on 25 point area focus on C. I first started using 75 points and got a lot of nearly sharp images. Perhaps I am learning how to do it after 5 days here?


The black vulture has been reintroduced into the Cevennes region of France and is doing well. We only managed to see one at a distance when there last year....but lots of Griffons.
