And eagles. New Zealand had eagles. Once upon a time there was a much larger forest harrier, Forbes’ Harrier , and the all-time ultimate bird-of-prey, the Haast’s Eagle. This massive eagle, with a wingspan on up to 2.6 metres, was the largest eagle to grace the world, alive or dead.

A federal government decision to allow a Wyoming tribe to kill two bald eagles for a religious ceremony is a victory for American Indian sovereignty as well as for long-suppressed religious freedoms, the tribe says. The Northern Arapaho decline to say specifically what they will do with the eagles the federal permit allows them to kill.

The distance to the coast for the pair of Brahminy Kites to collect fresh fish is not far. This sandstone cliff was only a few hundred metres from where we encountered the juvenile Wedge-tailed Eagle too. Dampier Creek and Cable Beach are both around 2 1/2 kilometres from the nest site, so it is perfectly positioned in that respect.

Since no-one lives here, there is no organised rubbish collecting. Birds of prey include European Honey-buzzard , Long-legged Buzzard , Short-toed Eagle , Booted Eagle , Montagu’s Harrier , etc. The Danube being 3 km wide here has another, sad consequence: all floating rubbish is being wind-blown to this bank.

Curiously, some eagles were also observed by the Ada Ciganlija Island, within Belgrade – in the breeding season!

The proprietor of our ecolodge guides my small group of birders up a steep slope where we see, just at the point where a scope view deteriorates into pixels, a huge bird—a Chaco Eagle, also known as a Crowned Eagle—on a huge nest.

Steve answers: Bonelli’s Eagle ! A pair of these eagles breed nearby, but this bird shows no wish to reappear and show itself better. I hope it will show again… and there is a raptor with a strong pale and dark contrast… the same Osprey? Still, the bird isn’t too cooperative, glides low over the ridge and disappears behind it.
