The African Fish Eagle has a wingspan of between 2m (male) and 2.4m(female). As the name implies, they dine mainly on fish, and live near freshwater lakes, rivers, reseviors, and even river-mouths.
The female will lay 1 - 3 eggs per season, but the first to hatch will normally kill the siblings which hatch a day or two later.

Through the Transkei
-
Up early again, cos everyone's itching to get through the Transkei. When
the bikes start revving, you know you'd better hurry, or you could be left
behind....
