Red kites particularly welcome. 🙂
Oh and I would dearly love to see a pic of a sea eagle. 8)
As always, thank you so much. 🙂
Hi CG - not my photos but some taken by the OH over at Andover Hawk Conservancy (...have you been there?). Hope you like them!

Golden eagle chick on the nest. One of our friends does the bird of prey ringing in this area and took us on a couple of ringing sessions

I have some tiny blurry pics of bald eagles from a few years back, before I had a DSLR with lovely zoom lenses.. you don't want to see them.
However I know of a place and time where you can go and see tons of them reliably, so I might try again this year 🙂

Cheers - though looking back at my old pics I think a lot of them are a bit underexposed. 😳
Thanks everyone, some terrific pics especially GrahamS. 😀
Matt - yes, I took my kids there, ooh must be nearly 20 years ago, when it was pretty basic. Remember seeing a condor - awesome!

I assumed you were going for a sort of grungy moody feel to fit with the sky tones and raptor nature. Works for me anyway.

Now I know you're just flattering me 😀
