Although the pictures of the martial eagle I have taken are not very interesting I decided to set up a gallery of this species on my site. The martial eagle is the largest representative of falconiformes in Africa. It preys mainly on small mammals, including young antelopes. It can weigh over 6 kilograms and is larger than a golden eagle. Occurs only in  Sub-Saharan Africa. It will be difficult to exchange the pictures for better ones, but who knows may be someday, somewhere it will be possible, time will show.

The Masked Lapwing commonly occurred in Australia and New Zealand. Even in urban parks it could be observed. And it was not difficult to notice it because it's a huge lapwing, among other lapwings. It weighs about 350 grams and is about 35 cm long. I seldom saw her alone. Maybe it was not in so closely related to flock as it was in case of zebra finches, but if there was seen one masked lapwing feeding, in the area of several dozen, several hundred meters you could probably find another ones. Lapwings flying in a flock were quite noisy.

Its silhouette is much more slender than of the White-breasted Woodswallow. Their body weight nearly the same, about 30-40 grams. It occurs throughout almost the whole Australia. Leads a fairly sedentary lifestyle. It basically feeds on insects caught in passing. Do not resign from nectar as well.

I photographed the meadow harrier somewhat accidentally from a hide, but unfortunately not from a desired distance. An interesting thing about these harriers is their marked sexual dimorphism. The male is grey, but only on the outer surface of the wing. The inner surface is white. Several times in the area where I photographed the plover or corn crake, I saw the male meadow harrier, but sadly neither long enough nor close enough to take a picture.
