A very lucky morning


After the rain and the swarms of winged termites attracted by light around the house last night, we were lucky to see a lot of birds flocking to our compound to feast on them this morning. 

The first unusual one was this small bird of prey:


As usual with the first pictures of the day, these ones are not perfectly neat since they are taken from inside the house, through the fixed mosquito net. I find the subjects interesting enough to consider it worth the drawback, and I'll keep taking pictures and posting them despite the relatively poor quality shots.


Although I don't remember having seen this bird before, it was relatively easy to identify thanks to its striped "pants" and the one white stripe on the tail. This is a Lizard buzzard / Kaupifalco monogrammicus / Autour unibande (Buse unibande).


A friendly reminder: please contact me if you intend using any materials posted on this blog. It's nice, and it's the law. Thank you!
