      Palmnut Vulture chasing after a Yellow-Billed Kite - Note how dirty the white neck and wing feathers are this time of the year.

      Thanks for the comments everyone, and Tips Jan, Will push speed up a bit, however it was late afternoon and lots of shadows. The Kite was flying around close to the vulture sitting in a palm tree and it started to chase after it, Richards Bay area.

      Nice comp and sharp enough, some detail lost in darker areas, try some shadow recovery to bring out the detail
