Haliaeetus vocifer African Fish Eagle Visarend
Kaingo Private Game Reserve, Jul 2020
A breeding resident. Fairly common and recorded widely across the Waterberg (recorded in 59% of the Waterberg pentads); resident pairs occur on each of the larger dams and along the larger rivers - the nests of 11 such pairs are known and by extrapolation, a further 20 or so pairs are likely to occur; is usually encountered singly, though, and birds flying high overhead, often far from water are sometimes detected from hearing their characteristic call. Breeds in winter, normally reusing the same nest in successive years.
