Bateleurs are social birds Flut's. They are often seen together at food sources and waterholes as shown in Nan's pics. There are also records of a third adult being in attendance with a breeding pair at the nest site. The third bird is invariably a male, but the reasons for this are unclear.
Great photos everyone.

Re: Bateleur - Bird of the Month October 2013
my last contribution...
like already said, I don't know to have a picture of these so beautiful raptors
or the birds is too dark... or the ground is too "white"... or both... maybe one day I will be better
I like this one, because the Gnus seems to be "perturbed" by smaller ones
