Dear all,
I was lucky to finally encounter last month, though at great distance, a slender-billed Vulture (on the left) as it now completes and "finishes" the Vulture family (Old World and New World) for me. In photo 1, there are two other vultures on the right... but I am having difficulties establishing whether these other two are juvenile SBV, or simply Griffon Vultures. I also attach photo 2 of another bird taken nearby that looks exactly like these two.... as it might help ID the first 2.
Photo 3 shows what I had called years ago a grey-bellied Cuckoo, taken in the Rajahstan in Spring, but now not sure at all, and would be grateful for your help.
I also attach 2 Pipits taken last month at high altitude in Singhalila NP to check whether I am right in calling photo 4 an Upland P. and photo 5 an Olive-backed P.
Thank you all in advance, ugolino
