Odd bird

Methinks it's a jackal buzzard

Brown Snake Eagle in those parts ..Never seen a Jackal Buzzard in KTP

[Mel]

They do occur there. I've seen a few myself over the years.

Hi Peter, yes they are in Kgalagadi, like Mel already said
not the best one, but you can recognize one of the waterholes of the park with this one, for exemple

Jackal Buzzard, Kgalagadi

If I'm wrong once more .... please delate

[Peter Betts]

Yes thats a Jackal Buzzard ..But I have never seen one in 60 yrs and never heard of Birding Staff Members who have seen one ..Passage Migrants/Vagrants ???

[Peter Betts]

The Bird in the Original Pic had its back turned but the 2nd pic you can see the White Breast so its a Black Breasted Snake Eagle at the Nossob cam

[Mel]

Two different days, Peter. Might be the same bird. Might not. Hard to tell from the first capture what it really is.
But the area around the beak looks weird for a snake eagle.

Oh, and you can look at more jackal buzzard sightings by the regular KTP visitors here
