White-tailed Eagles
Just back from Norway and I could not wait to proces some images.
This was quite a trip with low temps, snowstorms and 3 meters of snow in the mountains. The perfect place for me. I just wish I could stay for two months.

The female eagle came a bit as a suprise, otherwise I would have left a bit more room on the left hand site. But hey...still quite happy with this shot:)

iso 400 1/160 sec. F5.6 Nikon 200-400 with 1.4 TC

Very nice indeed and what a superb pose from the female.
A magnificent creature in an equally magnificent setting.
Like it a lot.

Lovely shot Edwin, looks like a pretty impressive series from your trip. Arctic Fox on your website is really nice. Where abouts in Norway did you go?

Wow! Great stuff Edwin. Great how you can see the snow jolted off the branch as it has landed. The other shots on your site are lovely too, especially the lynx and the abstracty blue one :smile:

Terrific shot, Edwin. I recognise the tree and only wish this pair had landed during my stint ijn the hide in November. Nit that I'm envious or anything!! Cheers, Mark
