Verreaux’s eagles lay one to two eggs but only raise one chick. These are normally hatch during mid-winter and stay on the nest for around 90 days. The parents provision the chick during this time, delivering prey to the nest. Rock hyrax is a frequent item on the menu, as seen here. Having concurred data from accelerometers and nest cameras for the same bird could allow for activity level to be linked to successful prey acquisition or prey type.
