Distribution and habitat
Occurs across sub-Saharan Africa; in southern Africa it is locally common in much of the region, excluding the arid Namib Desert, Kalahari and much of the Karoo. It generally favours large water bodies, ranging from estuaries to rivers and man-made impoundments, such as dams.
Movements and migrations
Mainly sedentary, although both adults and fledglings may disperse from the nest territory after the breeding season.
Food
Specialises in hunting fish, gracefully swooping down to the water surface to grab a fish with its talons; it may even catch fish straight from the waves of the sea! Fish that weigh under about 2 kg are lifted out of the water and carried to a perch to be eaten, but if the fish is larger than 3 kg, the fish-eagle drags to the shore using its wings as paddles. It also hunts other animals living on or near the water, such as waterbirds, reptiles and small mammals.
Breeding
Monogamous, territorial solitary nester, performing a courtship display in which the male repeatedly dives at the female, who presents her talons.
Condition: Good.
