Description
Bateleur Eagle
Terathopius ecaudatus
The Bateleur eagle is the most famous of the snake eagles. Bateleur is French for "tightrope-walker". This name was probably chosen because of its distinctive aerial acrobatics. When mature, it's pitch black feathers with white under the wings, bright red face and legs and black tipped beak are characteristic markings. Unlike most creatures, female Bateleur eagles are larger than males.

An awesome looking Eagle, beautifully captured, I never seen one of these birds anywhere, thanks for sharing Stuart
Allow me to be the first: What a pic! The angle, the size, the perfect clarity, and that imperious expression! Maybe it's anthropomorphic, but it's hard not to imbue these fearless predators with superhuman qualities. And on top of all that, I've never seen anything like this snake eagle before - Thanks for all the info.
very very impressive !!!
You were a very fortunate man to have captured this fine specimen so clear. The reds are aglow on the full size version. Fantastic capture.
Great, crisp shot. You whole portfolio is wonderful!

Just amazing. That's the last thing a snake sees before being eaten.

Terrible portrait of this Eagle Danny ! Very strange this red color on his face, he seems more impressive. Never seen this sort of Eagle before. He must be a terrific predator ! Have a nice evening my friend. Hugs
Wow - what an excellent photo. These birds always seem to evade my lens. So crisp - this is the first time I actually see the head so clear! Nice contrasts between all the colours. Thanks for sharing!
