Male Bateleur Eagle (1)(Explore) - a photo on Flickriver

            The male has black flight feathers. They feed mainly on other birds and small mammals. The name is French for 'tightrope walker' due to the fact that they slowly rock from side to side when in flight, which they are most of the day. This particular male was sunning with his family. I will post the other family members at a later stage. They are believed to be extinct in developed regions.
