African fish eagle surveying from a dead tree.

This is an African fish eagle, which is an raptor that gets its food by spotting fish near the water's surface, swooping down and plucking them out of the water. As you can see, one poor fishy got a bit too close for its own good.

African Fish Eagles tend to perch on dead or mostly empty branches overlooking rivers in the bushveld.
