A juvenile Harrier Hawk landed.

There was no way that I could get around a palm tree to get the sun behind me.

This was too good to worry about the position of the sun, and I just had to cope with the conditions.

The African Harrier Hawk (Polyboroides typus) was previously known as a Gymnogene, which suited his athletic prowess as it is one of only a few bird species that can climb trees.
