Bateleur Eagle: The national bird of Zimbabwe. A very distinctive, short-tailed eagle. Often one of the first raptors to arrive at a carcass. On a cold winter morning in the beautiful grasslands of Masai Mara, our driver was informed of a Leopard about to take its kill onto a tree and as we were driving to witness that scene we spotted this beautiful raptor from afar. We were very curious to see which raptor was this and when we drove closer to it we realized that it was the Bateleur we forgot about the Leopard and stayed there till we captured this beauty to our heart's content.
