Young Andean Condor

Young Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus) soaring over the Colca Canyon, Peru. Condors are one of the world's largest flying birds, adults can weigh around 40kg and have a wingspan of over 3m / 10ft and are awesome soarers, rarely beating their wings once they find a thermal. As vultures they are carrion eaters, which they locate by eyesight rather than smell.
