(PICTURED: PHOTOGRAPHER DAN PAWSON) - Just when it gets too hot, its always a good idea to go for a swim to cool off. But this African fish eagle appeared to take things to a new level when it went for A DIP in the Mabalingwe Nature Reserve. The majestic bird, which was snapped by photographer Dan Pawson, 49, from Cape Town, South Africa, after attempting to catch itself a hearty meal. The hilarious bird even managed to startle a nearby hippo, which looked on as the eagle went for its swim before clambering out to shake itself off.
