One of the most iconic birds representing Africa is the African Fish Eagle. This large and beautiful bird of prey has a very distinctive call to communicate with other members of its species.
They resemble the American Bald Eagle as they are part of the same bird family (Accipitridae).
The African Fish Eagle is typically larger in size compared to the Bald Eagle. The African Fish Eagle has a wingspan of up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) and a body length of around 3 feet (0.9 meters). In comparison, the Bald Eagle has a wingspan of around 6.5 to 7.5 feet (2 to 2.3 meters) and a body length of about 2.5 to 3 feet (0.76 to 0.91 meters).
I took this picture of an African Fish Eagle landing on a tree stump at the Falcon Ridge Bird of Prey Centre in the Drakensberg. A place well worth visiting!

Hello Christian,
It has been some time since I last saw you at Westville Camera Club. It will be good to see you again so I am hoping that you will be around this weekend so we can say hi. Dave and I will be coming back to Thanda with Garry and Celia who have visited a few times since we were there so many moons ago.
Loving your updates still and your photography is always a pleasure. So wonderful to think you literally were the first teacher I ever had in terms of Photography…. That was my first camera I ever owned-10 years ago to the date! Thank you for introducing me to a passion that takes up most of my days.
Anyway – I won’t take up too much of your time now…
Warm regards,
