Observation details
minimum; possibly 5; spaced at intervals along road. All 4 were hunting from ground in short grass edge of road; they were constantly looking around, as if searching for prey, and were basically oblivious to us until we got to ca. 15 m, at what point they flushed and resumed hunting at another spot on road. One bird was seen to hop into the air once, as if the get a better view, and that same individual also stood as high as possible briefly, again as if to get better view. Our interpretation is that with the very strong wind, normal aerial hunting or higher perch-hunting was less profitable because of audio difficulties as well as constantly moving vegetation.. Silent as far as we could tell.
