| Fish Eagle coming in for Lunch |
Our last day in Malawi and we hope to do a cruise on the
lake to see the Fish Eagles, which is quite spectacular and perhaps Claudia
will do some snorkelling.
However, there is quite a swell and we are not sure we will
be going out. This lake has a lot of moods when we got here yesterday the lake
was like glass and today we have waves as though you are at the sea.

We eventually go out on the boat at 03h00pm in a light
swell, unfortunately the afternoon does not seem to be the good time for
feeding Fish Eagles as only three or four rose to the bait whereas when Denise
and I went out on our last visit every pair we passed dived for the fish. In
explanation we sail past the mainland fairly close and the skipper calls out in
Fish Eagle language and throws a fish into the lake, tells us to focus our
cameras on the floating fish and gives us a five countdown as the eagle swoops
down and we have to get clicking. Now I am there with my 500mm lens and I was
the least successful, I had some magic shots of the dead fish, but the eagle
eluded my lens with a vengeance.
We get back to the lodge at 05h00pm and enjoy a couple of
sundowner's and another fabulous meal and are ready to hit the road again
tomorrow when we cross our 12th border into Mozambique
