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.

Lis, the closest I can get to an ID of the kill is that it's a bird.

Not a bird - those are long claws! Meerkat?

You think so? Look like feathers to me.
