After lunch, we continued driving along the road, when we spotted a flock of vultures heading our way. They were flying rather low, and while vultures are rather common in Crete, you don't often see them flying low. So here was a good opportunity to photograph these magnificent birds, but I first had to quickly change lens and they fly at such a high speed that there was preciously little time to do so. But in the end I managed and got a few nice opportunities. |
