Feeling flattered but thrilled (and it was a total surprise!) - and already using as a platform in the press to convey vulture messages on toxic NSAIDs. Thanks all for the kind words!

@Eddiewilliams09 yep still rspb ! Drop me a line. Glad this worked.

[Chris Bowden @CGRBowden]

@Eddiewilliams09 zenkers in Korup we saw need details for publication... can you DM me your email or contact me - only second confirmed sighting location in Cameroon! Bit urgent... Cheers, Chris

@RamanSpoorthy @biopatrika @DeccanHerald @RSPBScience True that human diclofenac often illegally used (ban maybe too much to hope), and meloxicam needs promotion (similar price btw). Sadly aceclofenac available, converts to diclo in cattle - this urgently needs ban. Nimesulide also once IVRI confirms...

@BirderGranty Hey John, Chris Bowden here. Can you send me your email? Keen to get back in touch. (From Bangalore still at present)... [email protected]

My mother is a Hindu, my biological father was a Christian, my adopted father - a Muslim. In all official documents, my religion status stays blank. Does religion determine I am an Indian? It never did and I hope it never does. #OneIndia #India

This #VultureAwarenessDay, we ask: what is the *current* distribution of vultures, after the shrinkage in range of the past 25 years?

Here is the distribution of the 9 species of Indian vultures, from 1000s of observations of birders uploaded to eBird

@poojaslab @MoeGhosh @uramakri @NCBS_Bangalore @SAVEVultures @BNHSIndia @RSPBScience @ICBPNewent Will be happy to find home for these great images on https://t.co/9QUyVXqScT if thats ok? & re Robin's question: vulture pop is significantly recovering in Nepal where diclofenac levels controlled/reduced by VSZ to almost zero. See BCI paper Galligan et al 2019 or SAVE news item

@sumitdookia @and_ecology @SAVEVultures @SpeciesSavers @fishtiaq @4Vultures @moefcc @BNHSIndia @BirdLife_News @munirvirani @radhepemani Thanks for the mail. I've sent you protocols by email and cc'd several experts including veterinarians who should add further. Good luck with getting samples and autopsies of fresh birds.
