Eagle
Hello again :wavey:
Now we've moved inland to central Florida I went out to specifically get Eagles,Caracaras and Snail Kites. This one was taken at a place called Lake Cypress.
The aerobatics of these large birds can be quite amazing I would like some images where they tumble with locked talons I've seen it twice but always in the distance.

Regards

Superb flight shot. perhaps a little more space to the left would improve it but if it were mine I'd be happy with it as it is.

Hi Colin

Maybe a tad tight in the frame but that's a minor nit - everything else is 'cracking'
