:thumbs_up: Yes, normal breeding behaviour. They would not sit like this, or on a nest under normal conditions.

Owls often use hamerkop nests like this one to breed on.

Hi all, Here is a picture of a couple of Verreaux's Eagle owls seen last Dec.4th by the road from Shingwedzi camp gate to the main highway. They look very similar to the ones spotted by Kamadejo north of Shingwedzi.Imagebondm

This one was seen just south of Satara last Thursday. They are formidable birds! It had caught and killed another raptor, from some of the other photos, it seems to be a Gabar or Dark Chanting Goshawk.

Rain can sometimes be a photographer's best friend. In this case it made this owl very reluctant to move, allowing me special up-close privileges...

Seen along the Mahoni Loop
