Waar om die African Fish Eagle in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the African Fish Eagle at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Goukamma Nature Reserve, Anysberg Nature Reserve, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve and Phinda Private Game Reserve and other reserves. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

The African Fish Eagle is most recorded in Mpumalanga (30% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (21% of records), Western Cape (18% of records), based on 4,418 iNaturalist observations. 136 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the African Fish Eagle on site or nearby.

The African Fish Eagle is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Goukamma Nature Reserve: year-round, warm Oct-Apr; Anysberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The African fish eagle (Icthyophaga vocifer) or the African sea eagle is a large species of eagle found throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply occur. It is the national bird of Malawi, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. As a result of its large range, it is known in many languages.
