The resident African Fish eagle which is always seen on acacia tree canopies in marsh area of the Lerai forest where it wait for fishing opportunity,this morning was seen scavenging on the remains of the Zebra leg on the ground near the pool,probably dropped by fully fed Spotted Hyenas.This was my first time to see this eagle doing this.
