JACKAL BUZZARD near ALIWAL NORTH

This Buzzard was seen for a few weeks near Aliwal North, NE Cape, SA. It had a conspicuous white breastband instead of the normal russet pattern.

It stayed in the same area near a farmhouse for a period of time, before moving on to an area a little more remote where there is not so much activity. It's new area is about 2 km from the area it was spotted at first.

It seems to be moulting as all the primaries are not fully grown.
