Aquila rapax
Tawny Eagle feeding on Little Egret
Riverine woodland
We watched the eagle chasing the egret through the trees until it caught it and took the prey to a suitable feeding perch in a Mashatu tree.

Hi Mark. This is one of our commonest large eagle and is well distributed through much of southern Africa.
Yes welcome to Project Noah Derek. That's a magnificent looking eagle. Are they doing ok there? not endangered?
Welcome to the community Derek.
This is an amazing spotting.
