This is a white eyed buzzard trying to swallow a buff striped keel back snake. While swallowing it midway the snake suddenly coiled around the birds neck and refused to let go. It took some doing by the bird to get things back in order to finish of the snake. The eye look a bit dull because the bird activated its nictitating membrane to protect its eyes
