DID YOU KNOW?
Each year, a Bird of the Year is chosen by BirdLife South Africa.
The Bird of the Year for 2012 is the African Fish-Eagle.
The African Fish Eagle is a large bird, and the female, at 3.2 - 3.6 kg is larger than the male, at 2 - 2.5 kg.
Its distinctive cry is, for many, evocative of the spirit or essence of Africa.
This year, our pair of Fish Eagles have once again raised their chick successfully. The three of them can be seen flying together at the present time - a wonderful sighting our sunset cruise.
