This guy came swooping over our shoulders and scattered the black-faced monkeys we were watching and then parked in a nearby tree. Was a bit shocked that it was not more skittish and it presented for several minutes. Could have been he was hungary!? Guide eluded to the fact that this was only 2nd near encounter with one of these in 23 years so feel very fortunate on the opportunity. Hope I did it justice. Truly a magnificent bird. Shot in Tanzania near Ndutu on a recent camping trip.
