Visiting Kruger National Park in South Africa we spotted a pair of bateleurs in a tree. After one flew away, the second landed on the ground and walked over to nibble on what remained of a scrub hare - mostly just fur. The bird then walked to the road and turned to look over its shoulder as a tawny eagle came flying at it, talons out. This is my favorite of several shots I got of the encounter.
