Afrikaans: Berghaan
The most easily identifiable eagle in southern Africa. The black, white and chestnut plumage combined with long wings and very short tail render this bird unmistakable.
The Bateleur is an unusually sociable eagle, often seen in pairs preening each other.
Flight action is diagnostic , with long wings held slightly angled, rarely flapping, it flies direct, canting from side to side.
Habitat: Open thornveld and semi-desert in the north from the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park round to the Kruger National Park. Avoids dense evergreen forests.
