- Aquila verreauxii
Identification
Verreaux�s Eagle (Aquila verreauxi)
Range: Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. In Africa breeds in east Chad and west Sudan, from Ethiopia and extreme north-west Somalia south through Kenya and Tanzania and from eastern Zaire and Zambia south to the Cape and coastal Namibia. Status uncertain in Western Palearctic, may have bred in Israel and may do so in very small numbers on a more regular basis in southern Sinai and Jordan. Also occurs in extreme south-east Egypt and has bred in the Tassili N'Ajjer area of Algeria.
Habitat: Rocky mountains, gorges and kopjes, generally in remote areas with steep cliffs, mountains in deserts in parts of range. Range determined in part by presence of main prey species, Rock Hyrax.
Photographed: Brits district, South Africa.
