I was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of one in the same park, but only a glimpse. Our driver was hot on the tail of a pride of lions with cubs... special, definitely, but I wish we'd had a minute to stop and look
Emma, in the exact moment of the shoot the bird is not hunting. He had taken the insect "scarab" on the ground and then he brought it on the branch to kill him beating him. This is the final part of the hunting: the insect is dead and the bird throws it into his bill.
