This female was shot at the nest, which was a huge 
structure of branches and twigs formed on the top of 
a thorn-tree ( Acacia nigrescens) about forty feet from the 
ground. When I visited it on the following day, the male 
had taken the place of his (late) mate on the nest. It con¬ 
tained one oval 33 egg, white with very indistinct blotches 
of grey. This Eagle preys chiefly on hares, of which there 
were numerous remains on the ground below the nest.
