This Griffon Vulture was just cruising up and down its home ridgeline as they often do when not far off searching for carrion. The sq format accomadates the wing position nicely in this shot, if it would have been more vertical I would have left it full screen in portrait, and full landscape of course if it had been soaring horizontally.
