Wow, Rog! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Unusual pics there!

Dunno? Bateleur are often the first at the scene of a crime, so to speak...maybe they watch each other and come to investigate? :-?

On our way out we stopped on the bridge to watch some birds :

Image

The birds were scrabbling in the mud
Image

Suddenly a juvenile Fish eagle swooped down and stole the catfish.
Image

He flew up to a tree branch to enjoy his stolen feast
Image

But it did not last long , an adult Fisheagle swooped down and took it away and flew off.
Image

We stopped at the gate and pre-booked for New years day entrance ....
