The call of hungry baby birds in the nests could be heard and the African Harrier Hawk (Polyboroides typus) has a keen ear!
We wish a happy Friday to all of the Hive owners.
(That means all of us!)
We had to go and get some stuff at the local shop and made a quick stop at the river to check the water flow.
It was then that I heard his call and so I spotted him in a high tree on the camera zoom.
But it was not to be his day!
As you can see, the river was flowing quite fast and nature was happy!
The killer was waiting patiently to pull his move!
But bad luck for him, as the defenders, two Hadeda Ibis birds arrived!
The one landed almost right next to the hawk!
Another look at the Hadeda next to the hawk.
And the other one came in to sit on a branch above the hawk.
No need to tell you that the Harrier Hawk disappeared into the trees.
But Wait! Two trees away from this one we found another customer.
This is an "Eurasian Buzzard" (Butco buteo) and I recognized him, as I posted about this bird before!
I had an uncle that used to smile like that 🤣
So, we don't know if it was the Hadeda's that had a nest there, or this Eurasian Buzzard. What we do know was that the African Harrier hawk had no chance to raid a nest here.
As he was watching the nest, the eyes of a few dangerous defenders were watching him.
Nature certainly looks after herself!
And That's All Friends!
I leave you with something to think about;
