This was part of a large flock -or is it a kettle - of vultures that was circling the skies over Phobjikha grasslands, displaying their awe-inspiring wingspans. The numbers indicated that this was a very healthy ecosystem.

Wanted to include this picture just to show how much bigger Himalayan Vultures are compared to crows.
