HARRIER HAWK
On the 5th April 2012 during the morning game drive towards the Marabou Pan area in Savute, we saw a very interesting starling and African harrier hawk. The African harrier hawk was moving from tree to tree, branch after branch and most of the other birds seemed annoyed at the presence of this huge giant. The hornbills & starlings started mocking the giant and the big bird flew away after being pester and irritated.It just goes to show you that no matter how big you are, with persistent mocking you can win your turf back.
