Always exciting when we see such a large raptor on wing, the couple at Walter Sisulu always on the news when little ones appear. You managed to get some super photos with it above.

I am sure that you can imagine how happy I was to get that eagle. In the Cape town of Ceres of all places. The eagles breed every season in the WS gardens, but I never knew that they were Aquala eagles, as everyone called them black eagles. So, it was another eye opener.
Thank you for the compliment.

Perhaps once you see one you will sight more with them possibly moving range for fresh region to nest in a feed. Always exciting times when seeing something new in the skies.

That might be a possibility, but I think that the Aquilas have been in the area for many years. I was really thrilled to get that eagle.

Apparently 3 species fall under the category Aquilas, Verreaux's eagle, African hawk-eagle and Tawny eagle, large birds with exceptional eyesight. Most found throughout the country, not often in extremely dry regions though.
!LUV Did post my little sparrowhawk that visited during last week.

Yes, you bare correct, and we have since learned that the farmers are their main predators, as they steal the small lambs.
I will go and have a look at your little sparrowhawk.

My sister told me they had veldfire in or close to Walter Sisulu this morning hopefully everything was doused quickly, not too much damage.
Farmer may lose a lamb or two, weather also takes some when cold arrives at birthing time. Nature!

Bad news, and yes, we can only pray that the fire was coped with. I will contact the in-laws to hear what's going on.
Yep, farming is not easy, as many losses. A farmer somewhere lost 19 cows, slaughtered by thieves overnight, and they reckon that it was meat for the zama zamas.
