Wonderful report and pictures. Especially liked the eagles: guessing black eagle pair and a solitary spotted eagle owl???

Cannot wait to get back to Namibia in late July, covid and airlines willing (Air Namibia just bellied up).

As I said before awesome report this .

I thought Harpy Eagles were from South America ?

Possibly a immature Martial Eagle or Crowned Eagle ?

Has all the markings of a Hawk-Eagle.

Possibly Ayre's if there are cliffs and rocky ledges nearby.

Immature Martial Eagle.
Crowned eagle would be the African equivalent of a Harpy.

I stand corrected - immature Martial Eagle...

From the size, I would say a Hawk Eagle...

But I have been wrong before...

African hawk eagles, with Ayres's hawk eagle we would have seen some mottling on the thighs. Nice couple!
