This fellow sat quite calmly on the bush until I got too close. Then, his wings opened and with one good push he was airborne. He soared back and forth between two points of land, both on top of coral outcrops that are fully exposed during low tide. I was surprised by how small he appears up close. But, in the air, African Fish Eagles have a wing span of approximately 2.5 metres. It’s a beautiful bird. Calm, composed, and always on the lookout for a good meal.
