Exploring Maroela and surrounds .............. *

[Lisbeth]

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

[Richprins]

Good sightings, Harry!

I think the raptor is a juvenile Martial again?

[leachy]

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 ??????

[Bushcraft]

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

[Toko]

Love the Vulture photos, Harry! Well done

A Verreux's eagle would have a pale bill

A Verreux's eagle would have a pale bill

You cannot really see the colours in that light. It could be a lot of things. Do you have a better idea?

[Toko]

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

[Lisbeth]

What is it then!

[Toko]

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
