On the very same outing to the Noravank Monastery where I photographed the Bearded Vulture, another giant of the skies graced us with its presence: a Golden Eagle.
Caught this magnificent Bearded Vulture just above Noravank Monastery in Armenia. Incredibly lucky shot, as it did quite a few passes with different backdrops, one better than the…
I saw this bird from afar without a camera or binoculars, as it was unusually large atop a very large tree. First I thought it was an owl…
We had a few birds of prey recently, but this is a much rarer one – never seen before by us and this newsletter: Short-toed Eagle. Two of…
Not the best backdrop here, but firstly, it is a very rare bird for this newsletter: a Sparrowhawk; and secondly, I didn’t have to work particularly hard for…
A few more photos from RSPB Rainham Marshes, as the weather this weekend would not allow for a decent outing. A Red Kite having a takeaway on the go will…
