The Vultures - Visitor's Story

by Ademola adejumo
(Netherlands)

As the sunlight creeps down, thousands of vultures swoop down to a pool of water a little downstream.

They clumsily hop and waddle across a few edges, and begin drinking in the manner of hens.

They lower their heads to the water, their heads are level somewhat so that water runs into their beaks, then raise their heads and point their beaks skyward, letting the water trickle down their throats.
