Baby Condor

On one of the Uros islands we encountered this amazing year old Condor. He was just a chick when he was rescued by the islanders. His wings are not clipped and is free to leave, but he is fed well and loved so he stays. He can eat up to 6kg of meat at a sitting! He was very affectionate to the islanders and didn't mind being photographed, but wasn't too keen on visitors getting too close!

Location: Uros Islands, Peru
