Nice to see an Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus). It is also known as pharaoh's chicken. It is smaller than other vultures and is primarily into scavenging. You were in a jeep so it was difficult to get a lower angle. A lower angle would have ensured that the background comes out diffused. How many of them did you sight? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice sighting of an Egyptian vulture in Bandhavgarh. Few years back I had sighted this species in the outskirts of Bangalore. Was it feeding? I feel a more rectangular framing with slight more space on the left would have enhanced the composition further. Thanks for sharing.
