Re: Secretarybird.
Nostalgia post!
These used to be so common in KZN when I was growing up, haven't seen one now for years.

Re: Secretarybird.
Saw one last Friday driving from Bloemfontein to Kimberly. Rare sighting these days.

Re: Secretarybird.
We lived in Ladysmith in the early 1960's and frequently went to the Berg. Seeing these birds was always a big happening.

Re: Secretarybird.
I see that the nictitating membrane is over the eye. Snapped at the right moment

Re: Secretarybird.
By far my favourite bird. Why have they become so scarce ?

Re: Secretarybird.
I saw a pair of these in Strand WC. Was very surprising!
