April 5, 2011

This bird has always eluded my camera.  This morning I heard the distinctive whistle and am happy
 to have managed a shot at it.  I do not know what type of eagle it is, though. It is brown & fairly large - I have not been able to make out the colour of the beak and feet .  It has taken a neighbour's dog on a previous visit, and has swooped down on a friend's dog while she was right there in the garden herself!   Not shy....

    Nice picture Maggie. Unfortunately it's too far away for me to even hazard a guess as to identification although I have no doubt that an ornithologist would have no problem at all.

    Magnificent if scary (taking someone's dog) what a capture on camera. I love eagles. Normally the experts can tell from the wing shape and the wingspan etc. I cannot say at all. Patience won out. xx
