Media notes
No pics, just a sketch made later from memory. Looked huge and had a dark body(black or very dark brown) and white and tan in the wings. Gently soaring above us in circles and quickly disappeared over the trees.
Observation details
No pics, just a sketch made later from memory. Looked huge and had a dark body(black or dark brown) and white and tan in the wings. Seen gently soaring above us in a wide circle and very quickly disappeared over the trees before we could take any pics. Had a very wide wingspan. Most likely a White-rumped vulture. Not sure if this is relevant, but just before the sighting, a Shikra seemed restless and kept calling and flying here and there.
