The steppe eagle pair in slideshow images 1 - 5 was in a bush adjacent to a termite mound. They were hopping down to the ground eating termites that had come to the surface following a rain, then returning to the bush. They are palearctic migrants in East Africa from October to April. The bird above is the same as in slideshow images 6 & 7.
