Jorbeer - 9 (Aegypius monachus, Gyps himalayensis, Gyps fulvus, Neophron percnopterus)

Jorbeer - 9

As the dust storm
lashed the Reserve
located in the
Thar Desert ...
... these big vistors
took refuge in a
shallow depression
bound by a
Calotropis bush on
one side and a
small dune on the
other side for
safety ...

This was captured
while we were already
out of the Reserve
gate and moving slowly
out along the
peripheral road ...
running along the
barbed wire fencing ...

The species seen here
are :
Himalayan Griffon 1
Eurasian Griffon 1
Cinereous Vulture 1
Egyptian Vulture 2
