The Madagascar Fish Eagle is a critically endangered large raptor endemic to Madagascar, known for its dark plumage and paler head. It is one of the rarest birds of prey globally.
Where to spot
Endemic to Madagascar, primarily found along the west coast near large freshwater lakes, rivers, and mangrove estuaries.
How to spot
Requires dedicated conservation-focused expeditions to its specific habitats. Look for it soaring over water bodies or perched on large trees near the coast. Any sighting is extremely valuable.
When to spot
Observations are very rare due to its critically endangered status. Likely active during daylight hours, but specific patterns are not well documented.
This eagle has an incredibly restricted breeding range, primarily confined to the dry deciduous forests and mangroves of Madagascar's west coast, making its conservation efforts vital.
