Immature pale chanting goshawk
Immature pale chanting goshawk (Melierax canorus) spreading its wings as it approaches a puddle of water before bathing. This carnivorous bird-of-prey inhabits the savannah and bushlands of southern and eastern Africa. It hunts by day, watching from a perch and swooping to seize small animals such as lizards, birds and mammals. Adults live in territorial pairs. Pale chanting goshawks roost in trees at night.
