Hi Denise, there are differing statements about the egg-laying season of Verreaux's eagles in South Africa; some sources state the time from April to November, others between April and July. So it looks like we're not in breeding season anyway.

In any case, this is a new, still fairly inexperienced pair (the nest renovation is a bit clumsy). In my opinion, the two are still in the process of strengthening their bond. In any case, I'm hoping for eggs and offspring next year!😊

Been looking forward to watching these raptors since last season then the cams went down. Hoping to see them in their upcoming season, when would that be, do you know or should we wait for mom & dad to tell us? 😅😊

But that's okay—the main thing is we get to see these two eagles in love together in the nest again. They didn't stay long. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/489b7c598db6af335f7026c3d2d74d75e247ae3fe9b0b718f2cad4e6033fbeed.png
