A lot of animals die every day as part of the circle of life. Vultures play one of the most important roles to ensure that the resulting dead material is recycled. During my last stay at Pongola Game Reserve I took these images of White-backed Vultures and one Lappet Face Vulture – it was fascinating to spend time with them and watch their behavior.
