I just went through the last several images of raptors, that you've posted. I'm jealous!!
You have done some fine work in capturing and posting these. Wall-hangers, for sure!!

This bird is always a grand personality and quite photogenic. I see that you got pretty close too. Like it.

25 Aug 2007 8:44am

@Shuva Brata Deb: Thanks Shuva. Yes, we could get very close as they were basically free and resting after the show. Too bad I did not have a better camera as they were all resting in the shade after quite long flights and plunging dips, on a very hot day.

Wolfgang Prigge from Granby, Canada

Very good series of birds! This one has a majestic and at the same time agressive look. Die "Volerie des Aigles" ist auch ein sehr interessanter Ort und lohnt einen Umweg.
