GVL CROWNED EAGLE CHRONICLES 🦅

Slide 1: 4/11/25 Our very first sighting of our newly hatched chick, mum has always got her eye on Matt when he heads up to take pictures. Under her talon is a bushbuck kill, these eagles are excellent hunters, specialists in manoeuvring through thick foliage and canopies in order to catch their prey.

Slides 2-3: 6/11/25 Mum still sitting patiently on egg no.2, the “back-up” egg/chick usually hatches between +-4-8 days after the first. This phenomenon is a survival strategy known as cainism or siblicide, to ensure the survival of atleast one chick. Behind mums’ tail, another kill; a thick-tailed bush baby can be seen.

Slides 4-8: 13/11/25 A glimpse of the nests’ “convenient” but very safe location 🤣 & an update on egg no.2.

Slides 9-11: 20/11/25 After lovely rains here at GVL, the chick seems to be doing well & growing fast!

A few titbits about our resident Crowned Eagle breeding pair 🦅

1. This specific nest site has been used in 4 consecutive breeding seasons from 2019 - 2025. We believe by the same pair of eagles, who have successfully reared 4 chicks (one chick every two years).

2. The reason for their “slow” reproduction; it takes about 9-11 months for the chick to reach full maturity & independence.

3. Here at GVL our Crowned Eagles specialise in hunting baby; Bushbuck, Impala & Mountain Reedbuck as well as Vervet monkeys’ & Thick tailed Bush babies!

We’ll keep you updated as our baby grows!😎

Good times and big smiles with 😎

An awesome & much appreciated review from a very dear return client of ours!💥

“Golf with Kudu’s, hippo’s, elephant. A wonderful baby/shower party, mountain hunting, some of the coolest terrain to glass and hunt, stalking a Sable to 15 yds, snuck in some fishing and then stalking in Limpopo brush and climbing Koppie’s to glass for all kinds of African species, including wonderful birds! Two great animals headed to Texas, but what really gets to go home with me is the wonderful memories of the people i know , the sunsets and the new friends i made!”
