The adult African harrier hawk above flew into the dead tree and sought out an acacia rat that was in a cavity under the large fork. It eventually caught it but flew off with the rat when a tawny eagle dove from above. The tawny dove at the harrier hawk a second time and the hawk dropped the rat. The tawny did not retrieve the rat. Click the image above to see a slideshow of some of this activity. Yaida Valley, October 2010. |
