Saw several of these feasting on road kill. Most were in the middle of the highway. This was the only one that was reluctant to leave when I prepared to take a shot - he was in the scrub at the roadside. This shot was taken just south of the Flinders Ranges.

Would like to see it cropped in a little. He blends into the background a bit. Magnificent birds.
