Himalayan Griffon

[Fred]

A nagging feeling prompted me to check out some usual birding spot, and I was lucky enough to meet a rare visitor, the Himalayan Griffon. The last time I saw this guy was on 18 Dec 2003 around the same area. A pair was also sighted flying around Orchard road area early last year. This particular bird was rescued last night and Allan had posted some info on that here. Would like to share some images of the bird, comments are most welcome. BTW, more images can be viewed here.
