Changeable Hawk-Eagle (Nisaetus cirrhatus, Aigle huppé). Tanzania, Ngorongoro Conservancy Area, March 2013.
Quite unusual I’m said, this Kori bustard was parading for a partner. The bird already big (the Kori bustard is the largest flying bird), but during this display it is pushing its tail up and enlarging its neck to very large proportions. Amazing and beautiful.

It’s true that it is seen flying only on quite rare occasions (I saw its flight only once in Botswana and for a few hundred meters of distance), but this is still a magnificent bird with a rather weird appearance. Kori Bustard (Ardeotis kori,… Read More
