    Is that a puffin?

      It isn’t, but I’ve no idea what it is! Yet another intriguing shot — is this bird on a cliff or another one of those rock formations?

        … and who, precisely, glued a red glove to its head? 🙂

          From its upward glare it looks as though it’s thinking, “Raindrops keep falling on my head…”
          But it looks pretty dry there to me.

            Well, in Frankfurt you have to expect rain mostly all the time…
            …what were they saying in My Fair Lady? “The rain in Spain falls mainly in Germany” 🙂

          I guess it is the crown of the king vulture 🙂

            Rather floppy crown 🙂

            What do you expect – he lives in a supposably democratic country. 🙂

        As I just said, it is a king vulture.
        Basically, it is sitting on a tree. I took the vulture at the zoo in Frankfurt and then relocated him to Goris in Armenia.

      No, it is a vulture – or a king vulture, to be more precise.
