Martial eagle
Martial eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus) perching in a tree. Martial eagles are the largest eagles in Africa. They soar over the plains and scrublands of sub-Saharan Africa, hunting everything from gamebirds, snakes and lizards, to jackal, domestic goats and mammals as large as small antelopes. Martial eagles reach around 80 centimetres in length and patrol a territory of about 130 square kilometres. Photographed in Kenya in September.
