Thanks for another instalment of your rare birds' day! I can see every plumage detail and every fold of the wattles very well in this high-resolution photo.

It sure isn't very often we see these vultures coming in Arijit - it's 4 years since the last one.

A terrific picture this too my friend. Thanks.
