Its A Bird Eat Bird World!

Bateleur Eagle feeds on a Helmeted Guineafowl in Tsavo East National Park, Kenya

Like most raptors in the national parks, the Bateleur Eagle prefers to feed high up in the secluded and private confines of the acacia tree tops. On occasion however, when a healthy prey such as this 1.5kg guineafowl presents itself and the eagle successfully completes the hunt, it may decide to start feeding on the ground and once halfway through, take the lighter and more manageable remains up into the trees.  

Before the Bateleur Eagle starts feeding, it meticulously plucks out all the feathers in a chosen area of its meal then proceeds to dig into its feast while tearing out manageable morsels as photographed above.

The Colobus Monkeys Of Diani Beach

Angolan Black And White Colobus Monkey in Diani Beach Kenya A wildlife lover deciding to spend a few days at the Diani Beach coastline will be in for a special photography treat. Its one of the few places in Kenya where one can sight the Angolan Colobus Monkey at close range. They are easily identifiable by their black face, black fur and long locks of white hair that surrounds the face and also hangs off the shoulders. Being arboreal, they generally prefer to stay among the tree branches and canopy's feeding on leaves, fruits and flowers rather than foraging on the ground.
