Olli spotted it which was amazing considering how well it was hidden in the bush and how small: they are more Shrike like in size than Falcon size! She wasn't really too bothered about us.     https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

The Kgalagadi is an amazing place for all sizes and shapes of Raptor and for birds in general. I love it there. Very different to many other national parks and much more challenging in terms of viewing. https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740
