I am going to give the answer because my question posted in a bird quiz remains unanswered for more than a month.

The answer is the Black-chested Snake Eagle or if you are Portuguese speaking, it is the Aguia-cobreira-de-peito-preto

Anyone with a challenging question, please throw it at us.

Thanks Rooies, learnt something new

It might be easy, but just to get it going again. .....

Which animal's sound can be described as a "sawing" sound?

Panthera pardus.

Yes

Unless one is familiar with bird calls and or stays elsewhere than tourist camps this may be difficult to answer .

Which bird call which is often heard at dawn may be mistaken for that of the Verreauxs eagle owl ?

A ground hornbill?

me think so too....

I would agree with WFG and Meerkitty

That makes four of us. If it is the shrill whine that is sometimes heard, it could possibly be one of the korhaans?

Well done MK

If you are in KTP and you think you hear a fiery-necked night jar...What bird are you actually hearing?

S Pale Chanting Goshawk is rather silent, but during breeding season, we can hear series of melodious whistling calls rapidly repeated “klueee-kli-kli-kli-kli-klip-kleeeep” usually uttered at dawn, while perched or flying.
We can also hear a long, drawn-out and high-pitched “kleeeeee-u, kleeeeee-u” at distinct intervals.

From WikiPedia: This is generally a rather quiet bird, but during the breeding season the male makes a series of tuneful whistling calls kleeuu, kleeuu-ku-ku-ku from a tree-top perch.

or is the net information wrong?
