Digiscoped Bird Images from Southern Africa - African Harrier-Hawk (Gymnogene) Polyboroides typus (169)

This large raptor specialises in robbing the nests of hole nesting birds and has remarkably adaptive flexible knee-joints to facilitate this habit. This photo was taken shortly after the bird had consumed a nestling of the Green Wood-hoepoe.
