Summary
| Description |
Falco biarmicus, Aquila verreauxii Afrikaans: Veral met eerste daglig is die kranse by Baringo 'n uitsonderlike area vir voëls. ’n Edelvalkpaar het aan die een kant van die kranse nesgemaak en hierdie massiewe witkruisarendwyfie het hul lugruim binnegeswewe. Die edelvalkwyfie het opgestyg en gou hoogte gekry. Dan het sy twee keer vlerk geklap, op haar sy gekantel en met 'n styl duikslag neergepyl om die swewende arend teen die agterkop te tref. Die arendwyfie het 'n seer stamp gekry en toe die edelvalk haar weer nader, het sy omgeslaan om duidelik te wys dat daar geen tweede kans sal wees nie!
Edelvalke is kragtige en ratse roofdiere van voëls en is omtrent so groot soos die swerfvalk. Witkruisarende is groot kragtige jagters van soogdiere en groot voëls, wat hoofsaaklik dassies verkies, maar ook op tarentale, patryse, klipspringers en ander wildsbokkies sal prooi. Afgeneem by die Baringokranse te Baringomeer in Kenia.
English: The cliffs at Baringo are a fantastic area for birds, especially at first light. A pair of Lanner Falcons were nesting at one end of the cliffs and this massive female Verreaux's Eagle drifted into their airspace. The female Lanner took to the air and quickly gained height then she flapped twice twisted onto her side then plunged in a deep stoop striking the circling eagle on the back of the head. The female eagle got a sore one and as the Lanner approached again she flipped upside down and clearly indicated there would be no second chance!
Lanner Falcons are powerful agile predators of birds and are about the size of Peregrine. Verreaux's Eagle is a large powerful hunter of mammals and large birds, mainly favouring hyrax (Dassies) but also taking Guineafowl, Francolin, Klipspringers and other small antelope. Image taken at the Baringo Cliffs, Lake Baringo, Kenya. |
