White-tailed Eagle at lunch hour

By -
11:45 today, while having a lunch, I happened to peek in to Estonian carrion cam. Good choice, White-tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) had the lunch hour also. Below the eagle there is two Common Ravens (Corvus corax) in the photo. The camera can be found here: http://www.looduskalender.ee/en/node/5696

Pullus Verraux's Eagle Windy and rainy weather out there, here in Finland. Good excuse to practice some remote birding. I decided to go to South Africa this time. See what I found :) Pullus Verreaux's Eagle ( Aquila verreauxii )! And bit later an adult arrived to nest too. In addition to those, some unidentfied bird sounds... At least some Swift, sounded like Eurasian Swift (Apus apus) , but I can't be sure about it yet. Also sounds that reminded me of Starling and many odd sounds...

Africam Elephant Plains camera is again up and running and it offered me today two new species: Natal Spurfowl (Pternistis natalensis) and Red-eyed Dove (Streptopelia semitorquata) . Naturally there were many birds that I had identified also earlier, like Burchell's Coucals (Centropus burchellii) and many more. Nkorho Pan webcam instead surprised me with Yellow Wagtail (Motacilla flava) , which was calling long time close to microphone. Surprise was also Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) . Both are summer visitors in South Africa. And below finally a decent photo of Red-billed Oxpecker (Buphagus erythrorhynchus) in the back of Impala Antelope.
