I had previously posted another shot from this sequence of a drongo (the small black bird) attacking a tawny eagle. The eagle was raiding the nests of all the smaller birds, and this brave little guy finally took action and drove the eagle out. This action happened just outside of our tent in the Ol Pajeta Conservancy of Kenya back in April while we were heading to lunch. Never a dull moment on an African safari. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 720, f/5.6 at 1/3200th of a second.

That’s an award winner, Sean! Take a bow!
Thanks Sue. It was quite the scene when I saw that little guy attacking the eagle.
Fantastic capture.
