Re: A bird on the sun
The nearest I can assume the bird as, is a Vulcan (don't know a thing about birds), but alas, there are no more of those flying anywhere and certainly not a motorbike either...
Excellent capture Jacinto and thanks for sharing

Re: A bird on the sun
Hola Jacinto,
Well done. I second that it is a Condor ... a vulture does not spread the tail in flight ... IMHO
We have no Condors in Mexico but plenty of Vultures which we call here Zopilote

Re: A bird on the sun
I do indeed love this and what is even better is the height of the Condor. Not many bird transits are in focus as they are too low, this is perfect as it is so far away and in focus having neither Vultures or Condors in the UK I am not experienced to know the difference, but I shall certainly look it up
