We checked the Brukkaros crater in southern Namibia in July 2006 for Booted Eagles to determine any evidence of breeding following exceptional rains there early in 2006. Observations of two pale and two dark morph Booted Eagles mobbing a Verreauxs' Eagle Aquila verreauxii close to a suspected nest site with copious fecal whitewash covering the cliff face led us to suspect that breeding had been successful there. We suspect that we were watching a pair of eagles with flying young because a follow up visit in September revealed no birds. Two pairs of Booted Eagles cannot be ruled out, however. Higher than normal raptor road count densities suggest good number of Booted Eagles in Namibia in 2006. The coincidence of the breeding of the eagles' chief prey such as doves, francolins and Namaqua Sandgrouse from March-May provides an explanation for the early breeding enigma of Namibia's Booted Eagles. Systematic observations of other inselbergs and mountains in western Namibia between April and July are needed to understand the nature of the breeding of this overlooked species in Namibia. We hope that further observations will negate the idea that the Namibian population is actually separate to the breeding population in South Africa.
