Sitting on a grassy hillside above a lake as we passed by on our jeep safari, in close proximity sat an Indian Vulture, perched on tree Black-winged Kite and a Lesser Fish Eagle, with Brown fish Owl flushed as we drove by... a paradise for raptors !
The bald eagle is sitting on a high-tension power line tower eyeing all that surrounds her. Needless to say, she wasn't too happy with the fact that the crows were harassing her.
Taken along side the road in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa on the way to Lesotho. Free and wild as he should be. It is a fairly common resident in the eastern part of South Africa.
This is the moment that the bird has decided to come in and take the fish. It does a little dance in the air just before it swoops down and takes the bait.
The red fish this white tailed eagle is about to grab is a delicacy in most parts here I use them to feed the local eagles. Not such a calm day this one. sometimes it is not easy to get pics like this when the boat is so unstable as on this day.
