a martial eagle (polemaetus bellicosus) leaving the perch.
in africa there are three species of "big" eagles and they occupy three different ecosystems.
the black eagle live in the mountains ad rocky areas.
the crowned eagle live in the forests.
the martial eagle prefer open woodlands ,savannas and arid areas.
this is a male,not so big and less spotted than the female.
females can arrive till 4.5/4.8 kgs with 240cm wingspan.
it is a very agile raptor able to catch big birds but enough strong to kill young/small antelopes,primates
