Feeding time

I thought birders would be interested in this document shot of a black headed vulture fledgling and an adult. These two walked into camp and grabbed a drink of water from a tin I'd put out for perching birds then hung around in the shade for quite some time. I noticed pin feathers on the head and remnants of pin on tail feathers and the youngster was looking for food in the adults mouth. I'd never seen a juvenile vulture so was pretty excited to see this exchange. The photo isn't particularly sharp because I was shooting through a dirty window but thought it was interesting enough to share.
