Young White Tailed Sea Eagle
Another couple of birdie pictures.
White Tailed Sea Eagles are the fourth largest species of eagle in the world, with a wingspan of 9 feet. The adults are mostly brown but have a lighter coloured head and of course a white tail. The young birds are generally brown all over and take 5 or 6 years to gain the full adult plumage.
This one is just over a year old but it's hard to get a sense of scale from these pictures. Golden Eagle sized plus a little bit more I would say. The backgrounds are a bit cluttered - unavoidable but I may do something in photoshop at some point.

It's the lens I really should have used (and used wide) when I was taking pictures of the Vulture swooping accross my head.
