My contribution for this week’s challenge…
Careful
~~~~~
Wedge Tail Eagle.
Last Wednesday I sighted not one,
but two wedge tail eagles….
air brakes on…
and did not have my camera!!!!!
watch the lights
A two or three minute drive from home seemed like half an hour…not to mentioned the trip back.
made it
The birds were obliging and kept low and one carefully
manoeuvred to land on the top of these railway signals.
the fly by
These are not the greatest photos as no matter
how careful I was to stop camera shake etc.,
a 500 mm hand-held lens,
resting on my car door was not ideal.
However, it was my first sighting of eagles in flight
and that was enough.
It has only taken all winter and half spring to find them!

It was Janet. Two of them being hassled by a crow…of all things. Like all photography, it would have been nicer still if I had been 100 yards closer. However, as with African animals they did not seem to perceive the car as a threrat.

Fantastic shots considering you had to go and get your camera. Plus doing the shots without a tripod…I think you did amazingly. I’ve never seen a wedge tail before.

Sure. I was half asleep when I wrote that, thinking you were in the USA. So if you can adjust to not say that etc, then that’s fine. LOL

Love the fly-by. I did the same thing last week when I spotted a roseate spoonbill and didn’t have my camera. It DID seem like forever when I went back to get it. happily he was still there.

It was the longest drive, there and back, and all the slowest drivers and slow trucks in both directions. However, it was worth it.

Pretty awesome shots, Woolly. I would be satisfied with them. The grandeur of the eagle overcomes any deficiencies in the quality of the photograph

Thank you. They are a grand bird, however, I tend to look at what could be better in my photos and drool over everyone else’s photos. Doesn’t really make sense does it?
