A vulture with a "price tag" lol

Seriously, I've always been wondering if those large labels don't bother the birds 0:

Thanks for all the comments again. Last week I didn't post anything as I had a guest here for a few days. I did however manage to get a few pics.

I'll start with a few of last weeks pics. First up, a bearded couple of peckers...

This Kudu bull spent a few days at around the house. Here he is outside my bedroom window, giving a clear view of his broken horn...

This morning was weird. The weather was not great, overcast and warm. I knew it would clear later and I was undecided on whether I must go on drive or not. A few minutes later I received a message reporting on a Lion sighting. Mind made up and off I went. There were three Lions, two males and one Lioness.

Here is the majestic older male...

The kudu horn :shock:

It suits the older male better when you take a close up without his "balding" forehead. lol
