Beautiful and powerful Eagle !

I don't see it often enough ! This one in the Kgalagadi, also with a small kill that I could not identify (perhaps a mongoose).

When it eats, it stores the food in its crop before digesting it.

Lovely pics Lis and Dindingwe. \O Lis, the closest I can get to an ID of the kill is that it's a bird. O**
