Egyptian vulture - Alimoche común
Neophron percnopterus

The yellow color of the Egyptian vulture's face is due to carotenoids absorbed from the dung of herbivores. Carotenoids have antioxidant properties, but dung introduces parasites into the intestines, so the intensity of the yellow color is a measure of the bird's health, as the strength of the immune system determines the amount of dung it is able to eat, and is important in sexual selection.

Hallo meine lieben Lebensformen,
Auf Fuerteventura sind das ganze Jahr über Schmutzgeier (es ist eine eigene Unterart) zu sehen. Auf dem europäischen Festland sind sie (überwiegend auf der iberischen Halbinsel) Sommergäste.

Leider sind die Bestände auf dem europäischen Festland rückläufig, auf Fuerteventura Dank des Schutzes aber nicht. Dort steigen die Zahlen.
Der dunkle ist ein Jungvogel, erst ab dem vierten Jahr sind sie hell. Alle drei Geier sind beringt.

Tiere sind Freunde und kein Essen oder eine Plage.
Bleibt gesund, glücklich und verliebt. 
Der schlimmste Seelenschmerz ist das Fernweh.

---------------------
Hello my dear life forms,
Egyptian vultures (a separate subspecies) can be seen all year round on Fuerteventura. On the European mainland they are summer visitors (mainly on the Iberian Peninsula).

Unfortunately, populations are declining on the European mainland, but not on Fuerteventura thanks to protection. Numbers are increasing there.
The dark one is a young bird, they are only light in colour from the fourth year onwards. All three vultures are ringed.

Animals are friends, not food or a nuisance.
Stay healthy, happy and in love. 
The most terrible pain in the soul is wanderlust.

Le vautour a le corps blanc, le bout des ailes noir, le visage et le cou jaune vif, des yeux noirs et un bec beige clair au centre qui devient progressivement brun sur le bout du bec.

The vulture has a white body, the end of the wings are black, the face and neck bright yellow, black eyes and a beak light beige in the middle who becomes brown on the tip of the beak.

"Back then, there were so many - and then they would migrate again. These birds are migrants as well...nomads." ~ Tolikas Nitsiakos, shepherd on Mt. Grammos

NOMADS - a wonderful and moving short film made by the Hellenic Ornithological Society
on traditional transhumant shepherds in the mountains of Greece and the endangered Egyptian vulture, of which only five pairs are still to be found in the country.

I was on a walk in the local park with my family on Sunday when I spotted a couple of birds of unfamiliar silhouette perched on high-tension electricity wires a short distance away. There they were, a pair of Egyptian Vultures 😮 The species https://ebird.org/species/egyvul1?siteLanguage=en_IN is endangered, and no longer commonly seen in these parts, making it a completely unexpected first-time sighting.
