Description
The African Fish Eagle is by far my most favourite bird - not necessarily because of its looks, but because of its very distinct call. There is nothing quite like being next to a water hole in one of the game reserves at sunset and hearing the call of one of these beauties. Just the thought gives me goosebumps!!
I caught this one with its prey. I find the image quite busy, however, getting a shot like this is very rare. We had a long debate whether it is a fish or some rodent that he is busy eating. I'll leave the decision up to you. *smile*
Thank you for popping by and for any comments you may wish to leave.
Hugs, Carin xx
