Judging by the size this is a juvenile, and the first I have ever taken an image of, pity about the grass!

It's all good to me! I will in all probability never see it in the flesh, so I'm happy with this, grass or no grass.

Nice look at this vulture. I think it would benefit from another round or two of sharpening to te bird only, and that grass can easily be cloned out with the content-aware tool in PS.
Very nice find!
