Nice captures Alan.
Never seen one before - kind of a 'wild' looking bird. I can certainly see
how its long legs would be beneficial in capturing snakes.

Two studies of a Secretay Bird (Sagittarius Serpentarius). It has
characteristics of storks, eagles & vultures but is neither. Stands about
4' tall. A bird of the open veld, preying on snakes & other small
creatures, covering distances quickly on its long legs. They ride the
thermals to move to other areas & nest atop thorn trees. Both taken with
the K7 using an HD 55-300 with which I am very happy.
