I remember sitting outside the Govt. Tourist Hotel in Jaipur, which was
outside the city walls and maybe 1km from the local abbatoir. We were
watching many hundreds of vultures and kites flapping up into the base of
a huge, stationery thermal, then soaring up at least 1500 ft before
peeling off in a long skein way across the city to a second thermal where
they specked out. They were all flying the same diameter turn, so it was
like staring up into the end of a giant rotating pipe in the sky.
