Injisuthi - Part 3 (Jackal Buzzard)

I was slightly disappointed at not seeing many raptors at Injisuthi. One the first afternoon we had a brief glimpse of what looked like a Crowned Eagle circling in the mist - but the weather closed in and it was gone. The only other sighting we had was this Jackal Buzzard at Junction Pool as we were leaving:



Although common in mountainous areas Jackal Buzzards and striking and one of my favourite raptors - this one brought back many fond memory's of growing up in the Natal midlands were they were a common site perched on boulders and telephone poles. Unfortunately he did not stick around to long for photographs.
