African Harrier-Hawk.The yellow face means its pissed off.

Interesting to know, i watched it fly over me a few times and i was totally stunned by it's size. Stopped to these pictures. I zoomed in quite a bit to get them.

I was just about to disagree and say that it is a Gymnogene...........but, having made an arse of myself at bird ID before, I double checked...........and learnt that an African Harrier Hawk and a Gymnogene is one and the same thing! Cool. My "learn something new every day" thing!  :thumbup:

"...In courtship display or aggression their bare faces blush from yellow to red"

Ha ha.I always hated the name Gymnogene.Just did not click.All my old books list it as Gymnogene.Was relieved when they changed the name.

Decided to give a KOM a go, took that one, plus another - then...

 

Swapped shoes and bike, to go for a short ride with my eldest daughter. This photo (below) belongs in the “Riding with kids thread”.
