Good morning friends. This is a lappet faced vulture or a Nubian vulture taken at Chobe national park,Botswana,Africa.It is a large bird with a heavy bald head and massive brown bill. It has mainly dark feathers and is easily identified by its bare pink head and large, fleshy lappets (folds of skin) on the sides of its neck. It has white feathers on its legs. Mainly found in Middle east and Africa.
