Image created last week at the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens in Roodepoort ,close to my home in Johannesburg.
This eagle is one of a pair that has been nesting here ,in a built-up urban environment, since the 1970's. The female is reportedly now about 40 years or older.
They currently have a chick on the nest which hatched about two weeks ago.
