Want to see vultures in the wild? You'd better be prepared to get up early. Like 4:30am early!
And if you want to get in real close, you'd also better be prepared to stand silently in a thatch-covered pit for four or five hours to get that 'special photo'.
At least that's what my cameraman Mark Giddens had to do to shoot the video for our story on Cambodia's last surviving vulture population.
Vultures can be spooked easily, hence the need for silence. But once they have decided to eat, there's no holding them back.
