Hi Adam,
 
Thank you for the wonderful photo of the Egyptian Vulture that you saw and also took a picture of it. As you know that the numbers of vulture species are going down due to many reasons.
 
I hope that you also do count the vultures that you see as it will be a good report for Munir and the team who are doing the census on vultures all over the country.
 
Happy birding 
 
Shailesh

Hi All,

Another fine raptor in the Mara today - an adult Egyptian Vulture just
east of the Governor's airstrip (Musiara). It showed well and allowed
a close approach, and a photo opportunity not to be missed (see
attached), as it sat above a pride of Lion.

Also, Rock Kestrel, European Roller and several small flocks of
Red-throated Pipit there.

All the best

Adam
