Brown Snake Eagle <=== never heard of this before. Very different for the other eagles. Is this a mature eagle? Thanks for sharing, nice photos

The white in the front suggests to me it’s young, but there isn’t much difference to the adult. Like some raptors these guys have a penetrating stare with those bright eyes. Just for the record they don’t seem to care what snake and mambas, puff adders and the rest are blatted with impunity. One serious bird.
