Photographs of Scavengers by Yvonne van der Mey

Not normally the most favorite birds of people, but these birds play such an important role to the whole eco-system in Africa. They clean up the bush of every animal that has died, for whatever reason. Besides that, they are also impressive in looks, size and behaviour.
