176. Bateleur. Seen almost every day in the Kgalagadi TFP, but the confrontation with the Tawny Eagle was the most exciting sighting. Taken from the car window near one of the waterholes.

Excellent action captures there Peter.

179. Monotonous Lark. The strange thing about this picture, which only struck me as I looked at the photos afterwards, is that it looks like a juvenile (the bill at least). Still, I could only ID the bird at the time by its song, which was definitely monotonous.
