Some propose that Bearded Vultures<\/a> can nest at an altitude of over 5000 metres, but such a case was never recorded. Now, however, there is a new observation that approaches that theory – Dr. Francisco Montoro Garc\u00eda spotted a Bearded Vulture nest at an altitude of 4,800 metres in the Himalayas. After some research, Dr. Montoro realised that this was the highest ever-official record of a Bearded Vulture nest! The previous highest nest was at 4,600 metres, as indicated in Dr. Tulsi Subedi\u2019s study of 22 Bearded Vulture territories in the Himalayas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
