The Bateleur (Terathopius ecaudatus) is a medium-sized eagle in the bird family Accipitridae which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as buzzards, kites and harriers. It is the only member of the genus Terathopius and probably the origin of the "Zimbabwe bird", national emblem of Zimbabwe. [Wikipedia]

I took this through a fine fence with a 120-300/2.8 telelens an extension tubes to get nearer. Nice when viewed large.
1/200s f/4 ISO 800
