A wonderful picture you've got of these two vultures Alok; rather more attractive than some of their cousins i think.;) Such a shame they're so endangered too!

Jane Goodall is a quite remarkable woman, isn't she.

Many thanks for your video - I'll link it to Opus later.
 
Same story everywhere. But you got a fantastic picture of this couple for record, Alok!! tfs, the info too.
 
A splendid detailed close-up of this beautiful-and yes everywhere declining-species, Alok !
 
Yes, Vultures are under pressure around the world... mostly our fault as usual; great capture and birds, Alok
