Vulture at sunset2
A big cat of some kind, presumably a leopard, had killed something in thick thorn bush in the 20,000 Okonjima Nature Reserve in Namibia. It was nearing 6pm, getting darker by the minute. Vultures gathered in the surrounding trees — I managed to get really tight focus on this bird (don't know the specific subspecies) in beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime light.
