This was quite an interesting sighting. There was a buzz of commotion as a bunch of Carmine Bee-Eaters, Fork-tailed Drongos, Glossy Starlings and Tawny Eagles converged on the same spot as there was something lying on the ground (which wasn't visible) but which obviously served as food for the raptors and lured some flies for the others.
I know the BG is a bit busy but such is the African bush, I am still happy with the detail and pose I achieved.
This is the darker form of Tawny Eagle.
All comments welcome...
