Secretarybird
(Sagittarius serpentarius)
Rietvlei Nature Reserve

Camera: Nikon D3 | Lens: 600mm + 1.4x
Shutter Speed: 1/1600s | Aperture: f/7.1 | ISO: 500

As the Secretarybird walked through the grass, it disturbed a locust. The locust took flight and the chase started. Eventually the Secretarybird caught-up with its quarry, for an early morning snack.
