Re: African Fish Eagle from Eagle Hieghts
Beaitful work here Mark, Great flight shots of an awesome looking eagle. The 3rd is my favourite ( difficult choice) for the position in the frame , the impression I get that he is in attack mode and the BG. Excellent!

Re: African Fish Eagle from Eagle Hieghts
These are magnificent shots Mark, captured well with perfection. The focus is spot on, on the bird. Excellent composition in the first shot and his my favourite with excellent colouring in the wing feathers. The standard is just as perfect in the next two shots as well, well done on a fantastic series.
