Comical capture of this beautifully colored vulture. Well framed! 
My wife states that it is having a bad hair (or feather) day. It is actually pissed off because a morsel of food was stolen from it seconds before this shot was taken.

Thank you. For some reason I find vultures fascinating.

Interesting bird, and excellent shot. How many people were in the hide with you?
I was alone (with a guide) in the hide. Very nice hide with one way glass, refrigerator, chairs. At this spot baits are placed only once per week so that the birds do not lose their natural hunting patterns. Vultures, both Egyptian and Griffon, come regularly along with Ravens, Iberian Magpies, Black and Red Kites, and others (including foxes). The money that is generated is used to purchase more acreage for the reserve. Currently the reserve has 220,000 acres and includes parts of Portugal and Spain. They have been doing this a long time.

Excellent shot of an unusual bird!
Neat looking bird. Not quite like our Turkey and Black Vultures.

Adorable. Looks like a young one.
Actually not a young one. When these birds become agitated, they raise their head and neck feathers like a crest. In this shot, out of the frame, another bird has stolen a piece of a meat from this one.

Wonderful portrait!
Thank you. There were many opportunities. Over 2000 shots taken of various vultures and kites that arrived that day.

What a cute little darling!!!
Thank you. I am not sure that "cute" is the word that comes to mind, but certainly striking is.

Certainly many people are disgusted by vultures, primarily because of their association with dead animals., Without vultures though, the fields, forests, deserts, sea shores, etc, would be more disgusting places. Vultures are nature's trash service. An Egyptian Vulture, which is an endangered species. Beautiful in its own right.
This was taken from a hide in Portugal with a Canon R6, 600 mm f/4.0 off a tripod. SS 1/2000, ISO 1000, f/4.0 at a range of about 50'. Small crop from L and bottom; some poop cloned out below

I also limit the pixel count when posting online, but I make exception here on UHH. If you check save original, we can download and see more detail when uploaded images are up to about 20 MB. I don't know how many pixels that might be, it depends on the level of compression.
In any case, I expect the R5 of producing better detail due to the higher pixel count which might be better seen if not reduced as much.
P.S. I like both shots

Thank you. I am just lazy-usually only convert one JPEG for web use and stay with 1800 pixels. I agree with you-likely does reduce some of the advantages of the R5 compared to the R6. When I save my JPEGs for my own screen use, I save full size.
