Raising chicks

The rare black vulture is doing well in Badkhyz Nature Reserve in Russia. The male brings back carrion for the chick but leaves the female partner to select the small pieces and feed it. As the chick is still small, the female shields it from the heat of the midday sun using her wings as a parasol.
