Birds Spot the birdie....

[Uncle Kevriano]

On Tuesday I had my first sighting of a White Tailed Eagle, a bird that they are re-introducing in a couple of areas here. The only regular place to see them is Scotland.
Anyway, it wasn't exactly close First shot is my view at 600mm in Crop Mode, so 900 equivalent, and the second is cropped as much as I dare. Of course it's not super clean and detailed, but it's a record and it really does show how much you can crop to at least have an image to keep.

Count it. Hopefully we see one of these in typical Kev fashion shortly.

Cheers Clint. I hope so, but will need a lot of luck or an 11 hour drive to Scotland ..

It had its eyes closed when I first spotted it. It isn't bird body AF.

The guide was pretty amazed that I spotted it and it was the first any group on that tour got to see one in the 5 years he had been doing it.
