I filmed this Pale Chanting Goshawk for birdingplanet.com during our hike through the Kleinrivier Wilderness. It has long, orange legs, pale yellow eyes and a pinkish orange cere (upper bill). They like to perch high up on tree tops or telephone poles scanning the ground for prey. They will either pursue prey in flight or run on the ground and chase it on foot.
