Tracey Hazelden, The mighty African Fish Eagle (ANIMAL & NATURE 2024)

These images of the Fish Eagle were taken at Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe, (the world's largest artificial lake and reservoir by volume). The distinctive cry of this magnificent Eagle is, for many, the spirit of Africa. It is proudly crowned the national bird of Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia and Malawi. As its name suggests, the Eagle feeds mostly on fish. These images were taken with my Nikon Z6ii camera.
