Aquila spilogaster African Hawk-Eagle Grootjagarend
Duikerfontein, Oct 2018
Male on the right, female on the left, both with full crops
A breeding resident. Scarce. Occurs widely but sparsely throughout the Waterberg in woodland (recorded in 34% of the Waterberg pentads); lives in pairs that maintain large year-round territories - about 30 nesting pairs are known in the area and by extrapolation the population in the whole area probably numbers close to 100 pairs. Breeds in winter.

Nests are very large for the size of the bird as they are added to with each year's occupation. They breed in winter, laying in May-Jun and fledging in Sep-Oct.
