We were fortunate to find a pair of these guys at a close-to-the-road waterhole. A few others pretty far in the distance.

Very nice, Sandy!
I was fortunate enough to have the chance to photograph a few secretarybirds when I was in TZ a few years ago, but none of them were as stunning as this one.
Congrats!

One thing we never got to see on our Africa trips, well done to get such a clear shot!
