Detailed studies are lacking on vultures in Tamil Nadu (TN). Between 2012 and 2014, an attempt was made to study vultures in the Moyar Valley, TN. Four species of vultures have been recorded in the Moyar Valley – white-rumped vulture and Indian vulture (belonging to species Gyps), red-headed vulture (Sarcogyps calvus) and Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus; non-Gyps species).
