Jorbeer - 7

An image of a
lifetime for me ...

Four species of
Vultures ... three
of them among the
largest in the
world ... and
fourth among the
smallest ...

For convenience ...
I have marked them
on the image
itself ...

_______

Desert Storm ...

A dust storm of
moderate intensity hit
the Jorbeer Consevation Reserve

... grounding the
big vultures ... for
the sake of safety ...

This clip shows
7 Cinereous Vultures
3 Eurasian Griffon Vultures
1 Himalayan Griffon Vulture
... and
4 Egyptian Vultures
