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 Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies. The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
