Gyps fulvus
Vultures usually appear calm and composed, though when it comes to food, they turn rogue. Vultures often fight amongst themselves around carcass for domination of food. They would often spread out their wings and display authority over the carcass to chase the others away.
At a carcass dumping site in Rajasthan. During winters, thousands of Vultures and Eagles arrive at this dumping site. Other than Griffon Vulture, one can find many other species of Vultures here like Himalayan Griffon, Cinereous Vulture, Red-headed Vulture, Egyptian Vulture, long-billed and even White-rumped Vultures.
It is a thrilling sight to watch Vultures surrounding the carcass. It's like a feeding party of Vultures.

Beautiful shot!
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections.
