Original – Vultures in the nest (Gyps indicus), on the tower of the Chaturbhuj Temple, Orchha, Madhya Pradesh.
Reason
high quality picture with EV
Renomination. Since last nom., the image has been improved, and the article specifically mentioned nesting on human-made structures, as suggested. Very difficult to take: this bird nests on cliffs or at the top of high buildings, far out of reach from humans. The species is highly endangered following use of deadly chemical by veterinary doctors.
