Another remarkable slice of South African wildlife - I loved it!

This is another species which I've seen at the local hawk conservancy. This particular specimen had got a bit tame in his old age, though. He'd figured out that the pond they use for the flying displays is only a few inches deep, so rather than soar gracefully over and grab the fish, he'd land at the edge, turn and grin at the crowd, then hop into the centre of the puddle to grab his meal. smiley - smiley


Thank you!

Thank you Icy North! For my part I would have loved to see that eagle 'grin'! But of course that's smart, not wasting energy just to impress people!


Thank you!
