Agreed, nicely captured of this threatened apex raptor.

Now that’s impressive. Being forest birds getting a clear shot is not easy.

Peter, Mhuze is great for seeing them. Never in 40 years saw one in Kruger. We saw them 4 X in Mkuze on 4 visits. And they are more open than say in the coastal forests!
