Hi all
This is my first post here so I think a short introduction is in order.
My name is Sindri Skulason and bird photograpy is my passion. There, I said it...;)
Spent some time this summer photographing White-tailed Eagles. Guess you could say it was my "pet project" this year. To be able to spend time out in the wild photographing these magnificent raptors and enjoying nature in all it's glory is a true privilege I don't take for granted. Really hope my kids will be able to experience the same thing in the future. There are around 65 pairs of White-tailed Eagles in Iceland and that is the highest number for decades. Since they are considered endangered species here and are protected by law you are not allowed to get close to them or photograph them without a special permission from the Enivironment Agency. The White-tailed Eagle was almost extinct in Iceland in the beginning of the 20th century but through hard work their number is increasing again. Please feel free to C&C.
