The beautiful, but very vulnerable Cape Vulture. This one is sadly in captivity, but that may be the only place we get to see them in the not-so distant future! :-(

And I found this one from Marakele, is it a Cape or a White-backed?

Toko wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2016 6:51 pm That's what I am thinking, too, because of the light secondaries =O:
Michele Nel wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2016 8:58 pm Agree with Cape Vulture as it has dark primaries and paler secondaries.
