This striking bird, a snake eagle relative, ranges throughout sub-saharan Africa. The white in the secondaries indicates this is a female; the male has all black upperwings.
I am aware the overhead perch is not great, but I figured I'd share this image because it's such a cool bird. My bar for international shots is admittedly lower since I'm never sure
when I'm gonna have another opportunity.
Closed down to f/8 to keep the entire subject in focus.
