Vultures to the kill - a photo on Flickriver

            The lioness guarding this kill was momentarily driven off, leaving a window of opportunity for the scores of Vultures waiting in the surrounding trees.  I was fortunate to get this shot of the first two birds wheeling down to have their share of the dead Buffalo.

Seconds later the air was filled with Vultures and the carcass was covered with these hungry scavengers.  Meanwhile a short distance away two crocodiles were waiting on the river bank.  I took this shot from a boat on the Chobe River and directly opposite this scene.
