Fish Eagle at Kariega
The Fish Eagle is perhaps the most iconic of the African eagles, with its distinctive call and striking white head as you can see in this video from our Kariega Big Five Game Reserve Volunteer Programme, South Africa. 🦅 As their name indicates, they feed mainly on fish but also on carrion and other meals of opportunity. On one occasion, they have been observed to catch a young ostrich chick on the reserve!🫣 #iamworkingabroad #birdlovers #safari #wildlife #kariegagamereserve
