Susan, I guess they would be among the scavengers at a kill - we saw them beside the track were a forest fire had burnt the scrub in that area - maybe they were doing a clean up there. "They forage on the ground, where they feed on reptiles, frogs, snails, insects and mammals up to the size of hares" - (Thanks Wiki)
