He's a falcon of some kind .... don't have a bird book to identify. Try google. :think:

Geniet hom.

Just because it says "4WD" doesn't make it an off-road vehicle.

Mark, die foreign language naam is Yellow billed Kite, maar nee dis nie hy nie, dis inderdaad 'n rooibors jakkalsvoel. As julle ooit in Dullstroom se omgewing is, doen jouself- en die kids- die guns en besoek die roofvoel sentrum net buite die dorp op die Belfast pad, verkieslik so 11h00 die oggend.

Die ouens daar gee dan 'n show ook, en een van die voels wat hulle gebruik is juis die rooibors jakkalsvoel- die voel laaik dit kwaai om te kyk of hy die hare op jou wenkbrou kan tel as hy oor jou kop vlieg, so sit stil.
