It's a long way down!

It's a long way down!
Possibly a juvenile Griffon vulture, unsure of it's wings as yet. I wasn't sure. It kept taking tentative steps to the edge then backed away, rustling its feathers all the time. I had a bus to catch so couldn't wait to see what happened. I would have loved to have captured a maiden flight!
I also took a shot with the vulture nearer the top of the picture, with a greater expanse of cliff below it but it had nothing like the same impact, curiously!

Oooh, it is a long way down!!! Love your framing Andy. I don't think the griffon has any problems with heights, unlike some of us ;-)

I don't blame it for being a bit unsure of itself..............I'd be bloody terrified if I had to stand on that ledge!
