On a boat trip on Lake Ravelobe we finally got to see it - Madagascar's national bird - the Madagascar fish-eagle. We actually got to see a couple and a half-grown chick up in a high, rickety nest. The species is one of the world's most endangered birds of prey. As far as is known, there are only around 360 individuals left - and the trend is unfortunately negative. Despite being the country's national bird, it is still killed because poor fishermen see it as a competitor for the fish they live on.
