About These Birds
African Cuckoo-hawk
The African Cuckoo-hawk weighs about 261g and inhabits sub-Saharan African forests. Despite its hawk shape, it feeds mainly on insects, lizards, and chameleons.
Bat Hawk
The Bat Hawk is a medium-sized raptor found across sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Southeast Asia, inhabiting forest edges and open woodland near water. It is specially adapted for crepuscular hunting, with large eyes and a remarkably wide gape that allows it to swallow bats and swifts whole in flight. Its dark brown plumage and swift, agile flight make it well-suited to hunting in dim light at dusk and dawn.
