Birds > Vultures       - by Provence Beyond

This is a relatively small black-and-white vulture with a bright yellow face, and a beak much thinner than other vultures. Soaring, it has black wing-tips, tapering down along the trailing edge. It soars with straight wings, typical of vultures, and has a wedge-shaped tail.

Habitat

The Egyptian Vulture nests on rock ledges, and hunts in open country, in lowlands and mountains. Summers in the southern Europe along the Mediterranean, including the Camargue.
