Now I wished I had a big zoom lens.The white under the wings means it's a young bird,but the species is in no doubt.
After the bird landed he just sat on the rocks without a care in the world.I couldn't get any closer.
In sequence as he flew over me. Apologies for the hazy pictures.
Very nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you Maria, they'd have been better if I'd had a good zoom lens.
ReplyDeleteThis eagle chick is either one or two years old.They don't develop full plumage until they're about six years old.The RSPB have radio tagged this one,you can just see something like a hair sticking out from the back of his kneck.
Well spotted Jim..! Hope he/she hangs around for a wee while yet..
ReplyDeleteMy inclination these days is to assume anything big and eagley in the sky is a buzzard but this looks a bit more eagle like to me - does that make sense. Perhaps you'll continue to catch pictures of it as it gets older and we'll find out.
ReplyDeleteA quick surf suggests it might be a young gloden eagle - is that likely your way?
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy,yes it's a young Golden Eagle.I had prior knowledge of it before I came upon it.
ReplyDeleteSo much grace and beauty.
ReplyDeleteThe summer birds have not come home here yet and I wait for them.
Have a nice day
