Southern banded snake eagle
The southern banded snake eagle is among the sought-after species held by the swamp forest and pans of the Eastern Shores, and a prize sighting on any Cape Vidal bird list.
When and where to see them
Scan the forest edges and the pans while you are out birding or driving the game loops, where herons, jacanas and the occasional dwarf bittern share the water with snake eagles.
