I'd transferred from the smaller canoe on Mabamba Swamp to the bigger version to re-cross Lake Victoria to Entebbe when an African Fish Eagle perched up in front of us; the boatman cut the engine and we drifted back to see it. Although this was the first one on the trip, I was to see plenty of others. A great looking species.

My special needs son loves birds of prey especially eagles 🦅 because they're mentioned in the Bible and are just a sight for sore eyes 👀!

I hope he got some pleasure from this video. There's also one featuring a Lizard Buzzard too - posted a bit later than this Fish Eagle.

Its actual Latin name is Haliaeetus vocifer.

I had that originally and someone commented (see above) that it was incorrect and suggested that Ichthyophaga vocifer was the right one. I checked and that comment seemed to be correct. I'm going to put both now :) Cheers.

You got the scientific name of the mainland african fish eagle completely wrong, its correct scientific name is actually Ichthyophaga vocifer.

Thanks for the comment. There seems to be some differing opinions on the placement of this species which I didn’t spot when posting. I agree with you though and will amend the description. Thanks again.
