| Not all bird sightings are good. Sometimes ,seeing these scenarios brings reality to the world that we live in and still know so little about regarding the wildlife around us..So much war going on in the animal kingdom for survival. Upon waiting one day at a bird hide with Paula, I noticed across the water to the edge a bigger bird bouncing around from one weavers nest, to the next.I had the binoc's out and soon enough pinned the species down from my birding guide book as the "Black Gabar goshawk".He was raiding the young from the weavers nests.We saw him take out a baby after locating the hole from the nest. A lot of niose and panic ensued from the parents. A protective and brave male weaver attacked the goshawk. The goshawk was fast enough this time to snatch the poor male out of the air as he was attempting to defend his young.Very sad, but these things happen in the wild each and everyday.Photographed Lake Panic,Skukuza,2006 |
