BALD EAGLE
Earlier this year i went to the Bird of Prey centre in Newent, Wales especially to see this eagle in flight. As soon as the handler let go he/she circled the field once and then flew off into the distance and perched in a tree only visible through powerful binoculars. "That's it" said the handler "we can all go home now, he/she wont be back for some hours". Fortunately i got a couple of shots on that first circuit.

Graham fantastic shot. I'm lucky enough to see these fantastic birds every year in Kansas in the wild but I've never managed the quality you have demonstrated here.

Well done.

Very nice shot. I do find the blown out cloud a bit distracting though. Perhaps some selective contrast adjustments may be-able to ease it back a little. Tristan

Nice photo.

The cloud doesn't bother me.
