Cinereous vulture (Aegypius monachus). Also known as the black vulture, monk vulture, or Eurasian black vulture.
These are huge birds standing at 4 feet in height and close to 15kg in weight. Unfortunately their numbers have declined alarmingly over the past couple of centuries and are listed as near-threatened with under 5000 estimated individuals worldwide.
