In English, the bearded vulture is also known as the lammergeier – German for “lamb vulture” – because of the false old belief that they killed sheep and lambs.

Dale Kedward, who filmed the lammergeier, said: "I thought it was going to pick up my dog, it was that big."

The lammergeier, as they call it in the Alpine regions.

In this volume no descriptions of scaling ice-walls, searching for the lammergeiers' nests, or any other great feats, will be found.

The awful, witch-like screaming of the lammergeier saluted the falling darkness where he squatted, a huge huddle of unclean plumage amid the debris of decay and death.
