When: May 23, 2021

Where: Dierenpark Zie-ZOO Volkel, The Netherlands

These Eagles are so difficult to photograph, with them preferring high spots... But that doesn't mean we don't try

Species: Bateleur Eagle (Goochelaar)

Latin name: Terathopius Ecaudatus

Originates from Africa.

Current status: Vulnerable

Did you know:

…In Dutch, the name of the Bateleur translates back to “illusionist” or “magician”.

…Its name actually derives from the French, and means “street performer”, mainly the old tight-rope walkers, implying the bird’s characteristic habit of rocking its wings from side to side when gliding, as if catching its balance.
