Gabar Goshawks, Lanner and, more scarcely, Red-necked Falcon, regularly harry the drinking seedeaters from their vantage points in the adjacent thorn trees. Other common birds of prey in the park are Martial and Tawny Eagles, Brown and Black-breasted Snake Eagles, Bateleur, Secretarybird, Greater Kestrel and Pale Chanting Goshawk. These are augmented in summer by Steppe Eagle and small numbers of Lesser Spotted Eagle.

In wetter years, harriers may be seen, including Black and Montagu’s. The most common vulture is White-backed, followed by Lappet-faced; White-headed is rare.
