Aquila spilogaster  African Hawk-Eagle  Grootjagarend
Grootjagarend
Kaingo Private Game Reserve, May 2021

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.
