Es un placer para los sentidos ver a éste ave única en su familia y género andando por la sabana en busca de alimento. Sus movimientos son elegantes y coordinados, como si anduviera constantemente por una pasarela, despistada y llamativa, merece una mención especial en nuestro rincón.
-It is a pleasure for the senses to see this unique bird genus in the family and walk across the savannah in search of food. His movements are graceful and coordinated, as if he were constantly by a walkway, clueless and striking, deserves a special mention in our corner
El nombre le viene por su peculiar librea gris y con las patas negras, y con un copete de plumas como llevaban los secretarios británicos de hace siglos. También se piensa que es una mala traducción francesa de su nombre árabe saqr-et-tair (ave cazadora).
-The name comes from its peculiar and gray livery with black legs, and with a tuft of feathers as worn by British ministers for centuries. It is also thought to be a bad French translation of its Arabic name et-tair-Saqr (bird hunting).

Es una de las rapaces más características de toda la fauna africana. Es de gran tamaño, aproximadamente un metro de alzada y de hábitos semiterrestres. Se distingue del resto de rapaces por cazar en el suelo y no desde el aire. Recorre a zancadas los herbazales al acecho de presas que van desde saltamontes a culebras y mamíferos de de pequeño tamaño, a los que ataca golpeándolos con sus largas patas, provistas de cortos dedos y fuertes garras afiladas.
