    The serpent killer! This majestic, beautiful and unique bird is only found in Africa - unfortunately they are now a species with a steep population decline, and need to be protected. Kicker of a scientific name too!

    These tall birds of prey are unlike any other! They look like pretty storks, but dont let their looks deceive you. These highly intelligent hunters walk around the grasslands searching for snakes, lizards, and rodents. They then chase after their prey stomping on them with their powerful feet...

    Another bird we managed to get with an Elephant backdrop in Namibia - the Elephants are so obliging, and I love the pose this Secretarybird gave us !

    Secretarybird (way too close)

    Too close for 80 mm with 2x extender was this Secretarybird in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, so the best I could do was to cut it into a closeup. Picture taken about 30 km south of Mata Mata restcamp.

    At the time one of my daughters was working for the UN in Tanzania and also owned a Safari company. Always thought that I would end up there helping out but not to be.

    Since my childhood I was fascinated by this snakes eating bird. I can not say how happy I was to see it on the grassland near the car. Moreover I could take several photos.
