You said the bird was big, but it can also be seen that the bird is robust. IMHO, you are correct in saying that this is a Juvenile Martial.

And you'd be correct.

Awesome shots Richard. I have also not yet seen two together. :mrgreen:

This shot of a Martial Eagle I took during a Kruger trip we had in August. The eagle was feasting on a monitor lizard and we could get quite close because it was in a tree right next to the road.

Taken on same trip at Mpondo Dam…it was chasing Impalas away from the water
