Not a guest in sight (I was on my way to Jozini dam to deliver boat petrol) and what do I get but my best ever sighting of a martial eagle. Now I have been lucky when it comes to sightings of this magnificent eagle but this was something else. 

I was on the winding dirt track that leads to our boat and as I rounded a corner there was the eagle flying at my eye height. He flew following the road in front of me for about two kilometers. I have watched these eagles perched near me, flying above me, flying along a cliff face below me but somehow the absolute size, power and grace was brought home to me ten fold watching him fly directly at my eye line.
