Description

When: February 15, 2020

Where: Dierenpark Zie-ZOO Volkel, The Netherlands

We've been having a lot of trouble photographing these beauties lately. It doesn't help that they love the high spots to sit in, and we're not so tall, so it's a lot of "from-below" angles that don't really work most of the time.

Luckily, we sometimes catch a break and they're sitting in a better spot.

Species: Bateleur Eagle (Goochelaar)

Latin name: Terathopius Ecaudatus

Originates from Africa.

Current status: Vulnerable

Did you know:

…In Dutch, the name of the Bateleur translates back to “illusionist” or “magician”.

…Its name actually derives from the French, and means “street performer”, mainly the old tight-rope walkers, implying the bird’s characteristic habit of rocking its wings from side to side when gliding, as if catching its balance.
