The steppe eagle pair in slideshow images 2 - 6 was in a bush adjacent to a termite mound. They were hopping down to the ground eating termites that had come to the surface following a rain. The steppe eagle is a palearctic migrant in East Africa from October to April. The bird above is the same as in slideshow images 6 & 7.
