Long-crested Eagle - 26Kb

Long-crested Eagle

Lophaetus occipitalis

fka Long-crested Hawk-Eagle.
This bird is said to be "widespread and locally fairly common in woodland, forest edge and partly cultivated country", but although it is easy to identify, we have seldom seen it.
Duncan took this photo in Lake Nakuru NP on our first safari.
