On our last visit to Bavaria, we called at a Schloss where they had been breeding and training birds of prey since the middle ages.

They put on a display of all the birds they train, including vultures.

This is  long shot I took of the grandson (arrowed). It wasn't until later when I went thru all the pics, it came to light that I had had a close encounter of a sorts. Never felt or heard a thing.

I believe that's a peregrine falcon. They use them in cities to control the pigeon population.

Wrong Stew,

Some sort of vulture, the other one was eating the chap on the shed in the far background.
