Vultures and cameras :)

On Sunday I took a small group up to the vulture restaurant because there was a dead cow. On the way we saw a breeding pair of Egyptians, which was amazing! I'm so happy to have seen them in the wild, and grateful for the brief chane at a photograph.


We saw a lot of vultures, hymalayan griffons, and redheads mainly. Unfortunately, for a few different reasons, we didn't actually observe them eating the carcass...but I still thought the experience was well worth it.

Monday we had two awesome flights and a falconry lesson in the afternoon. We went to thai for dinner, which was great. Richard and Toby from the RSPB came and we had a nice sit-down about vultures in Nepal and India.

Yesterday I painted my bathroom, so it looks really nice. We had a full day of flights, keeping with the routine of our busy days. In the afternoon we had a visit from an American director looking to make a film about a Nepali girl. I won't give away too much of the plot, but there are some scenes that he wants some vultures for....we'll see, maybe Kevin or Bob will be on the big screen ;)

Today I did a falconry lesson this morning, which was really nice. Tango decided to drop us a present, a rat with the trap still attached. Nice.
Then Scott and Elli flew a Japanese film crew for a TV show. Now we're all having lunch and a midday break before the next round of flights.
