Field Notes
Description:
In the last photo, he managed to catch a pretty decent sized fish, but sadly lost it as he was getting ready to gulp it down.
Habitat:
Occurs across much of sub-Saharan Africa; in southern Africa, it is common in Zimbabwe, northern and eastern Botswana, patches of Namibia, Mozambique and much of South Africa, largely excluding the arid Kalahari. It can occupy almost any freshwater habitat, excluding very fast-flowing streams, but it generally prefers bodies of water with gently sloping shores.
Notes:
Spotted at the Austin Roberts Bird Sanctuary
