Some African Raptors

[DennisT]

Some "foreign" birds (just for a liitle something different) - anyone name them [before checking the file names that is]?

[scott-devon]

Very nice, Dennis, and thanks for sharing a bit of your wildlife with us.

I especially like #4.

I have an idea, but an a very avid raptor guy.

some sort of crowned eagle, a fish eagle species, cape vulter , black shouldered kite and buzzard species.

Thanks for sharing and keep those africa wildlife images coming!

[DennisT]

You are right - they are:
#1 African Crowned Eagle. Really large - takes small buck, monkeys and the like.
#2 African Fish Eagle
#3 Cape Vulture
#4 Black Shouldered Kite
#5 Jackal Buzzard

All were taken using the Sigma 50-500 lens on Sony a700/900

Thanks for taking an interest and responding - truly appreciated - I'll scratch out some more
Cheers
Dennis
