Vulture Convention - When the Heat is On!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, it seems like a secret meeting of the vultures has been called at the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in South Africa. ASW-4321 captures a remarkable moment as Lappet-faced and White-backed Vultures gather around a waterhole during the scorching heat of the day. The Lappet-faced Vulture steals all attention here, as its threatened status makes it a rare sight outside major game reserves. But don't be fooled by their intimidating appearance; these majestic birds are just looking for some refreshment! It's almost as if they're discussing important matters - perhaps debating which carcass to feast on next or sharing juicy gossip from across the savannah. With their keen eyesight and powerful wingspan, these accipitridae species are true masters of survival in African grasslands. This lively congregation showcases nature's diversity and unity, with mixed-species flocks coming together despite their differences. It's heartwarming to witness how wildlife can find common ground even in harsh conditions. So next time you stumble upon an avian gathering near a watering hole, remember that there might be more than meets the eye! Join us in celebrating this extraordinary encounter captured by Alan Weaving – proof that even under blazing sun rays, life finds its way to thrive amidst Africa's breathtaking landscapes.
