I don't know if it's worth submitting these 2 photos. I spotted these birds very high up above my house, didn't have my camera near, took these with cell phone, not very clear, by the time I got my camera they were gone, all flying in ENE direction, haven't a clue what species |

Agree with White Stork, which occurs fairly regularly at rubbish dumps in the Johannesburg area. Compare with the GISS of flocks of e.g. Bee-eaters, Starlings, Geese, Kites and Parakeets (all occurring in the same area), which have shorter necks. |
