(delhibirdpix) Migratory & Resident Egyptian Vultures-NCR

Dear friends for last many years I have been doing study on Southern Ridge of Delhi and every day comes with  new surprises for  me. Though both the species and sub-species of this 'Endangered Egyptian Vulture' are not new to me and of course for all of you but need some corrections. The one with 'Dark Grey Bill' is a migratory (Winter) is a rare sight in NCR ( Also mentioned in the Atlas of Delhi-NCR birds)  which we sighted and photographed on 27th Sept. in the outskirts of Bhatti Mines.Whereas the other one with 'Pale Yellow Bill' is a resident . I have tried my best to scan all the previous records from the group to see  last sighting of N.percnopterus percnopterus but could not see a single photo of it (N.p.percnopterus) but I got N.percnopterus ginginianus (Pale Yellow Bill) only .I request all the bird photogrphers to kindly share photo of the N.percnopterus perconpterus from NCR if you have one.
