Thank you for the squirrels
Wow! It looks like a Verraux's eagle, but I cannot see distinctively the colours .
The green-backed herons sometimes stand still for very long, completely immobile

Good sightings, Harry!
I think the raptor is a juvenile Martial again?

Re: Exploring Maroela and surrounds..............
that vulture looks so clean !!!!!
the other raptor looks quite large......
extremely unusual if it is a verraux's ............... looks a lot like one !!!!
might even be an adult martial ??????
the future is not what it used to be
Re: Exploring Maroela and surrounds..............
Pity you missed out on most of the lion action, but you still got a brief sighting
Adult martial I'm no expert
GBH's are cool to watch

You cannot really see the colours in that light. It could be a lot of things. Do you have a better idea?Toko wrote: A Verreux's eagle would have a pale bill

You would see the yellow bill and eyering even if it was flying for off overhead it's quite distinctive

Martial
Crowned would have a pale gape visible, and it's too large for a snake-eagle, everthing else has a pale or yellow bill
