Bearded Vulture

BEARDED VULTURE

Gypaetus barbatus

A: Baardaasvoel

O: Lammergeier

 

A fairly common resident in the higher reaches of the Drakensberg. Sadly, it is a declining species, and one that is very rapidly becoming highly endangered in its southern African range. A stunning bird, and one of the true icons of the Drakensberg!
