Martial Eagle - Golden Eye An adult Martial Eagle visits a watering hole in the wilds of Namibia, southwestern Africa. <br /> <br /> Of all the raptors, this guy is probably the most weary and cautious to visit a watering hole. It will properly check out all aspects before approaching a watering hole. Thus, I would conclude, that this beautiful raptor is rather shy and overly cautious.
