Vulture Restaurant

Yesterday we went to to visit the vulture restaurant. When we arrived there were close to one hundred vultures feeding on a carcass just outside of the site. Although it was an awesome thing to witness, this meant we weren't going to see many vultures on our carcass.

We sat in the hide anyway, pulled out a bird identification guide, and got to it. We saw a magpie, some warblers, and watched the sky and thermals for any hungry vultures.

After a few hours the clouds started moving in. We had seen some birds thermaling, but none were keen enough to come down. Slowly two Egyptians made their way to the carcass, followed by a Himalayan Griffon. We were also fortunate to see some White Backed Vultures that had moved closer, but hadn't come down to feed.

Overall a success, it's always beautiful to go out to the village.
