Aquila wahlbergi

A regular trans-equatorial, intra-African migrant, usually laying ist eggs (or eggs) within a month of arriving in E, C and S Africa and departing within a month of fledging a chick. Bulk of population breeds S of equator, moving S through Uganda and Rwanda in Jul-Sept, N through Zambia and Kenya in Feb-Mar, to winter NE of equator. Relatively few breeding records in W and NE African savannas; probably a seperate sub-population with limited seasonal movements, S into Guinea savannas in dry season and N to breed in Jul-Sept. A few apparently resident around equator.
