This frame was taken several years ago off the coast of Kangaroo Island in South Australia. David Salem came was visiting and we threw out a fish or two while heading for the early morning light. As they were feeding their young they were pretty active. I have been photographing
these for some years and you simply cannot fluke being close enough to get a natural catch.Thus the we use the way they get a feed sometimes from the fishermen's offal ,and by stealing from other birds for that matter. About 20 pairs left on this iIsland but they will not tolerate activity above them from humans or other Eagles for that matter they live on very remote cliff faces.building
gigantic nests They are not endangered however. The girls have a 6ft wing as span and both can catch small wallabies and possums as well as fish and will feed on Kangaroo road kill from time to time and they and Wedge Tailed eagles kill each others young given half chance.
