Black Eagle Nest Cam: South Africa - Africam

The Black Eagle Nest Cam follows a wild black eagle (also called a Verreaux's eagle) pair at their nest somewhere in South Africa. The picture is run by Explore Eagle Nest Cams and streams through Africam, so it is live video rather than a still. Black eagles nest on cliff ledges, and the camera is placed close enough to see the birds clearly with a view over the surrounding landscape. The season runs roughly from June to October, when the pair courts, lays and raises a chick. Check it in the early morning or late afternoon, when eagles are most active and light is good. The rest of the time the nest may sit empty, but patience is rewarded when one adult lands with prey or the youngster stretches its wings.
