This flock of more or less 15 individuals were very vocal almost throughout the day. When this flock was approached, they began random flying back and forth between two trees. Some individuals were preening but most of them were little too alert. Probably due to seeing our group of 5 people on foot.Most likely they were feeding, but I couldn't notice that. As we left the place the flock slowly came back to the same trees.
