figure from wikipedia
The African Harrier-Hawk (or Gymnogene) Polyboroides typus has a flexible tibio-tarsal joint, allowing it to search for prey in crevices and cavities. It often raids the nests of weaver birds - it hangs from the nests, flaps to keep its balance, and reaches into the nest with one foot to extract nestlings.
