I am lucky enough to be able to see these super birds most days in my local area. However, the poor summer is really hurting their breeding success and from the appearance of this bird their pluamge also.

1D III + 500mm f4 plus 1.4x

It is a nice picture of the species, but it really does look as though it has been through the wars a bit. I'm not surprised the breeding success is being affected.

As David says the bird does look like some of its plumage as seen better days,but still a very good capture of this fine raptor.
