Passing the first dam and having time to do this, I stopped and photographed the African Fish Eagle sitting in a tree on an island.
The African Fish-eagle is a locally common resident, largely sedentary. It's usually associated with large bodies of water (like this dam it presides over) It eats predominately fish; it's capable of lifting 2kg weights from the water.

Wow Jo, that is such an impressive bird! It posed nicely for you.
ReplyDeleteHello, Jo, what an awesome looking bird. Great shots of the African Fish Eagle. Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeletehe is a beauty and very similar in looks to our Amercian Eagle, but they are not fish eaters. our Osprey is a fish eater
ReplyDeleteI love all eagles and this one is NO exception! Great captures!
ReplyDeleteWell done on your run Jo. A good time I thought. The eagle was a bonus wasn't it? Not quite spring here but it won't be long.
ReplyDeleteSuch a magnificent bird.
