Viewed by a paraglider-riding photographer, a fish eagle soars over a lagoon.
Fish eagles most often inhabit African rivers, lakes, coastal lagoons and estuaries south of the Sahara. Fish are their main sources of food, especially catfish and lungfish. In some cases they also eat other waterbirds or their young.
