While waiting for Greater Spotted Eagle, a black kite came very close:

And I wished for this Greater Spotted Eagle should have come close instead of Black kite

these shots were taken from a very long distance)

The kite shots are really nice. Even still, the eagles are good, even though they are noticeably cropped.

I agree with surgemaster, you should setup near that tree. As long as you aren't "too" close it should come back to that spot. Good place for a hide.... if you have one, if not maybe you should.

I don't have a hide myself, but I am thinking about it. Your situation would definitely benefit from one.
