Angry Bird?

Not at all. I met this juvenile Bateleur at a bird show at the ‘Dullstroom Bird of Prey and Rehabilitation Centre’ (www.birdsofprey.co.za), an organization which does great work in raptor rehabilitation.

I love the frontal portrait shot of this beautiful creature. The rescued eagle was rather curious and friendly, despite its ferocious stare.

The centre also offers a photography day to take pictures of many different raptors in the centre. I will be back soon to get more stunning images of these hunters in the sky.
