@KarenL: Thanks, Karen, for the scientific name. My internet connection is very slow here and I have a problem searching for info. @Maria dB: Yes, it is captive and a resident of a nearby snake farm. I have another spotting here of lizard buzzards in the wild but the shots were not very close.

Hi Jinky, where you know the species please take a moment to look up & add the scientific name, which in this case is Kaupifalco monogrammicus. This article explains why this is important to us - http://blog.projectnoah.org/post/28702494728/whats-in-a-name

Wow - how did you get such close-up shots? Was it a captive bird?
