It looks like we are going to have another productive year for Tawny Eagles in the Mara! Check out these two recently hatched chicks. #tawnyeagle #kenyabirdofpreytrust #mararaptorproject

@TZBirder @AfricanRaptor @PunkBiologist A6 didn’t breed in 2020 unfortunately. She maintains a really stable territory and fingers crossed that in 2021 she can raise a chick. Most of the pairs around her raised chicks successfully in 2020.

A great picture of the Makaria pair juvenile Martial Eagle taken by Lemein Par. She is starting to explore more and we expect she will leave her parents' territory soon. #mararaptorproject #martialeagle #kenyabirdofpreytrust #peregrinefund #maasaimara #masaimara

Roelof Schutte from Asilia Africa was recently treated to an incredible Martial Eagle sighting in the Mara Naboisho Conservancy. He watched this subadult kill a young Thomson's Gazelle. Thank you Roelof for sharing these stunning photos with us. #martialeagle #asiliafrica

It is breeding season for Secretarybirds in the Mara. Here is a fantastic image taken by Lemein Par last week of a Secretarybird nest-building inside the national reserve. #mararaptorproject #secretarybird #maasaimara #kenyabirdofpreytrust #peregrinefund

Lemein Par hard at work ground-truthing Martial Eagle kills. At this kill site he found the remains of a hare that the Olive pair male Martial Eagle recently dispatched. @mararaptorproject @martialeagle @kenyabirdofpreytrust @peregrinefund @maasaimara

The White-headed Vulture chick hatched from the nest we have been monitoring! Fingers crossed this chick will fledge successfully. #maasaimara #mararaptorproject #whiteheadedvulture #kenyabirdofpreytrust #peregrinefund #vultures #criticallyendangered

We had an incredible 6 vulture species day yesterday in the Mara Triangle! The highlight was this stunning adult Egyptian Vulture. The first adult we have seen in the Mara in years. #egyptianvulture #mararaptorproject #maratriangle #vultureconservation #maasaimara

It has been a bumper year for Martial Eagles in the Mara Triangle. Four of the six nests in the Triangle have either fledglings or large chicks! Pictured is the Olive pair's 60 day old chick. #martialeagle #maratriangle #mararaptorproject #eagles #maasaimara #kenyabirdofpreytrust

A stunning evening checking nests in the Mara Naboisho Conservancy. The very large chick in this image is an endangered Lappet-faced Vulture. #mararaptorproject #kenyabirdofpreytrust #naboisho #lappetfacedvulture #nestmonitoring #maasaimara #sunset #theperegrinefund

[mararaptorproject @mararaptors]

Lappet-faced Vulture chicks will start fledging soon in the Maasai Mara. Just in time to enjoy the benefits of the great migration! #mararaptorproject #kenyabirdofpreytrust #lappetfacedvulture #peregrinefund #maasaimara

Yesterday evening, Phillip Muchaba from Olare Mara Kempinski Camp took this incredible photo of the OMC female Martial Eagle feeding on an adult Egyptian Goose. #martialeagle #mararaptorproject #olaremarakempinski #omc #olaremotorogiconservancy

The clean-up crew is hard at work at the moment. Thousands of Wildebeest are streaming across the border into the Mara each day and following them are hundreds of vultures. The Mara-Serengeti is one of the last vulture strongholds in Africa. Photo credit: Lemein Par. #vultures

An incredible sighting today of the Makaria pair female Martial Eagle feeding on a monitor lizard. Photo credit: Lemein Par. #martialeagle #mararaptorproject #maasaimara #kenyabirdofpreytrust #peregrinefund

Happening right now in the Mara Naboisho Conservancy! Video courtesy of Roelof Schutte from Asilia. That is a decent sized Grant Gazelle and a beautiful presumably female juvenile Martial Eagle. #mararaptorproject #naboisho #asilia #martialeagle

[mararaptorproject @mararaptors]

Over the weekend, Patrick Reynolds from Governors' Camp, successfully ground-truthed a kill made by the Musiara pair female Martial Eagle. It looks like an Impala fawn was on the menu! #mararaptorproject #kenyabirdofpreytrust #theperegrinefund #maasaimara #martialeagle

[mararaptorproject @mararaptors]

A rare melanistic African Goshawk was recently photographed by Ninian Lowis in the Mara. Learn more about this sighting on our blog! https://t.co/ieEjTsaccY
