It was supposed to be the rainy season but for our first few days at Hwange I had to wear sunglasses, and it was really hot .
This Yellow Billed Kite was clearly trying too cool off.
EOS 1DX (well it did work for a few hours)
200-400mm F4 with 1.4 EX at 560mm
F5.6
ISO 800
1/6400

A interesting pose that you do not see very often and I like the eye contact.
