Wow, Rog!
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?

We seem to be good at finding birds doing unusual behaviour.

On our way out we stopped on the bridge to watch some birds :
The birds were scrabbling in the mud
Suddenly a juvenile Fish eagle swooped down and stole the catfish.
He flew up to a tree branch to enjoy his stolen feast
But it did not last long , an adult Fisheagle swooped down and took it away and flew off.
We stopped at the gate and pre-booked for New years day entrance ....
