Flight of the Fish Eagle
|
|
Debbie writes... Highly
recommended is a boat trip on Lake Baringo. You are rewarded with an
abundance of exotic birdlife, including the majestic fish eagle. The local
guides are well rehearsed at whistling for the fish eagles as they throw
in a baited-fish. Within seconds the fish eagle swoops right alongside
your boat and scoops up the fish in his claws. It is incredibly magical!
