Description

When: August 26, 2018

Where: Zie-ZOO Volkel, The Netherlands

The background is natural - it just turned out that way, despite the fencing, which is pretty cool if you ask me. In their new enclosure, they're very difficult to photograph because of the distance from the enclosure so decent photos aren't easy to come by.

So very happy that this shot, with his wings raised above him, turned out well

Species: Bateleur (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.
