Lesser Fish Eagle

Lesser Fish Eagle

This medium sized raptor favours small inland rivers and was perched alongside the river which is adjacent to the main lodge. There had just been a cloudburst which explains why the Eagle was looking bedraggled. It was photographed from a small hide on the opposite side of the river.
