I thought that's it, my raptor day, when I left the changeable hawk-eagle so was thrilled when I spotted the smallest of them all, the Black-thighed Falconet (Microhierax fringillarius), just metres away.
With this small raptor, any birder's wish would be to see it flex, cute and adorable is simply understating its flexing movements.
And I waited, risking the dark clouds, and it did not disappoint when it started to fluff its body, a start.
Must have spotted me as it suddenly turned my way.
And this bird does put on a flexing display.
Another cute characteristic fan pose.
Its third stretch before it takes off suddenly. Can't ask for more!
