The other Eagle. We had two chances for eagle photography from last month's visit to Sweden. The first gave us great views of White-tailed Eagle (only). The second visit we had the joy of a visit from a Golden Eagle. This bird is probably around three years old - there's still a bit of white in the tail but the golden feathers are developing well. To get a full adult would be unlikely since it would already be breeding and within a defended territory. The Golden is dominant over the White-tailed - this bird is bossing what's left of the carcase. When the bird looks directly at you its difficult to believe that its not staring at you even although you are looking at it through the camera optics. Its quite a stare. |
