Nice to see a vulture. Their ecosystem services is phenomenal. Without them cleaning the dead, the world would have faced a health emergency. The side profile is nice. The image clearly shows the naked neck and head so that the vulture is not inconvenienced when it inserts its head and beak inside the carcass to feed.

What was it doing? Did you find any carcass on the ground.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Loved the side profile. Nice to see it on the ground. Good details. Were there more around? Thanks for sharing.
