Verreaux's Eagles in the Conservancy

The Birds Of Prey Working Group of the Endangered Wildlife Trust has a current project in the Meyersdal area of the Conservancy. This has involved the establishment of a nesting platform to accommodate a pair of Verreaux's Eagles that had been nesting in electricity pylons in the vicinity.

For more information regarding this extremely exciting and interesting project please visit the project website by clicking here.
