In short, the accepted view used to be that a small breeding population of Egyptian Vultures inhabited Southern Africa, but has vanished facing the spread of towns, roads and farms. Finally, when our SUV broke down in Gujarat, India, some three years ago, my first two Egyptians were flying above the road!

This is not my first spotting scope.
