One from Scotland couple of days ago. Took a dozen or so of shots during our brief encounter (not quite mastered the machine-gun mode on the D300 yet) and this is the only one worth keeping. A supremely majestic bird.

420mm (300+1.5x)
1/800th
f5.6

Hi Des,

Wonderful shot, absolutely wonderful!

I believe it's been nearly 400 years since we've had a breeding pair!

Fantastic fligth shot on a great BG. Given it's not of one those usual fish-attracted eagle-shot, takes it over the top in my book! :toast: :toast: :toast:
