Common (Steppe) Buzzard Buteo buteo vulpinus at Lerai Forest, Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania.
1D3 with 500 f/4L and 2x Ext, 1/400 sec @ f8 ISO 800 EV -2/3 w/ BB fill at -1. PP in LR2.
We were photographing a large Tusker when I happened to turn around and spotted this Steppe Buzzard landing on a fallen Doum Palm with a captured mouse in its talons, which it proceeded to devour. Just illustrates the old adage: not all the action is in front of you.
C&C welcome. Thanks for looking.
