In these parts they are quite uncommon though they are occasionally seen in grasslands of the plains. But I was absolutely astonished to see this beauty at an altitude of close to 8000 meters at the Himalayas. This is a shot taken under extreme precarious light conditions and the subject was quite at a distance. But the peculiarity of the T-shaped posture and the stare prompted me to post this image at this elite platform. 

Shot with Nikon D500 + Nikkor 300 mm f/2.8 ( VR-I ) + 1.4X TC

1 / 800s

f / 5.6

ISO 1000 At focal length 420 mm

The head turn and eye contact are excellent, and the light and detail are too.

Lovely wing pose and head on flight shot against a nice bg, I think you got them on their return journey as passage migrant at an altitude of 3000m.
