Description: This seven-month old, captive-bred Jackal Buzzard was given to Penryn’s Falconry Club. One afternoon, Kuda Maoneni (who photographed bird) was flying the bird. It perched on a tree and did not respond to Kuda. Suddenly it dropped onto the ground, grabbing a snake’s head with its left foot and tail with its right foot. In self defence the Mozambique Spitting Cobra spat in the bird’s eye - the only effect of this was that the eye was milky for a day. The entire snake was then consumed – a scrumptious meal.
