They're amazing birds, awesome hunters. I've seen the remains of a possum after one of these majestic birds had dinner, and it wasn't pretty ;) I missed the raptor show every time that I went to Taronga park zoo, not that I ever really planned things ;-) Good shot Lawrie, shows the character. Would have been really cool to have gotten an even closer shot without people :)

Very nice shots Lawrie, even the expressions on some of the people are pretty interesting. :lol:
