Barn owls.
Approximately 11km from Twee Rivieren, on the Nossob:
Giant Eagle Owl (or Verraux, if you want to be PC), with what I think is an immature Pale Chanting Goshawk.
Approximately 2km south of Kij Kij

The owl has killed a Pale Chanting Goshawk ?

I don't know if it killed it or found it?

Wonderful owls!
And I must take note of the distance from Twee for the barn owls. Im pretty sure I saw one of the parents before
but couldn't remember where exactly. And definitely not as visible as you did
Agree on the PCG and am just as stunned as Lis. Hunted down itself or picked up from somewhere

Mel, there is a road sign stating that you are 10 km from Twee Rivieren. As you pass this, going in the opposite direction, there is quite a long stretch where the road is dead straight. Close to the end of this straight section, there is a large Communal Weaver's nest on the right-hand side. The nest is in the bottom of this, facing the road.
