This is the Griffon Vulture who is very much alive and one of a few Griffons at the trust.
They fly free for display and are spectacular to watch.
thankyou so much for great comments :)

Great study Pat. Love the partial spread wing feathers ahead of the body and ending just before the birds head. A nice OOF backround but the fencelines do take away a lot of the attention the bird deserves. Next time Mask and Gaussian Blur as you are allowed to do so in Adv. Editing.

Nice touch to photograph the head through the wings. Not sure what to make of the horizontal lines in the background. On the one hand, their repetitive pattern mimics the lines in the wings, which is cool. On the other hand, they distract my attention somewhat from the bird. On balance, though, I like this shot a lot. Well done.
