Bateleur (Terathopius ecaudatus)

Post by **Dewi** » Fri Oct 18, 2013 3:28 pm

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. $\O$

my last contribution...
like already said, I don't know to have a picture of these so beautiful raptors $0*\$
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
