    This is goood! The IQ is superb.
    The clear look at the prey stirs up many emotions.The stretched up neck of the prey is really interesting.
    It would be wonderful to see the eagle's eye a bit better but I really like how the curved neck and head and beak draw the eye to the action.
    BG is killer and perch is awesome.
    What an opportunity and you made the most of it.

    I am not sure what to say? Good HA on the prey?
    The IQ is over the top, I too, would like a bit of the Eagle eyes, but this is a
    really powerful image, Nature in the raw.
    Keep these coming, they are really good!

    Yes Richard, Red legged Partridge is one of the main prey of the bonnelís eagle, pigeons, and other middle size birds, sometimes rabits, and even ducks, egrets and herons.
    Where have you seen the Bonelli's eagle? there are only 3 couples in the region...

    Excellent despite the lack of a visible eye on the predator...but since you say you have some with it I can't wait to see that!! What an opportunity, I bet your heart was racing pretty fast :-)

    Yes Daniel, it’s a thrill...
    This eagle is big, 180cm long, and in Portugal and Spain its very rare, so in each session and each time the male or the females come to the spot, and stays at 20m from me, its a big emotion, and it looks I’m running the 100m in Olympics ;)
