Bald Eagle
Widespread in South Africa, the Fish Eagle is particularly common in and around most of the river and lake areas. So well known and clear is the call of this bird that it is often known as "the Voice of Africa". A handsome bird, the African Fish Eagle is easily recognized by its pure white head, the striking contrast between the white upper-body and tail, the chestnut belly and the black wings. The sexes look alike but the female is the larger of the two... #volunteer #volunteerabroad #volunteer Types Of Eagles, Wetland Park, African Wild Dog, Africa Safari, Tanzania Safari, South Africa Travel, Safari Park, Game Reserve, Wild Dogs

The African Fish Eagle is most frequently seen sitting high in a tall tree from where it has a good view of the stretch of river, lake shore or coastline which is its territory. Near a lake with an abundant food supply, a pair may require less than a km² of water to find enough food, whereas next to a small river, they may require a stretch of 25km or more.... #volunteer #volunteerabroad #volunteering #volunteers #vetnurse #VolunteerTravel #exchangestudent #studentexchange #safari #natureconserv Volunteer Travel, Volunteer Abroad, South African Birds, Lake Shore, Food Supply, Southern Africa, Birds Of Prey, Volunteers, Extinction

The African Fish Eagle has two distinct calls. When near the nest its call is more of a "quock" sound - the female being, in all cases, a little shriller and less mellow than the male.

Vultures are crucial to the ecosystem for their role as “janitors” – cleaning up carcasses and kills and removing disease, but sadly due to a variety of human created issues their populations are dwindling.
