Today I saw these wedge-tailed eagles:



And they saw this (and presumably everything else, with their - yes - eagle eyes):

Sat 7th - 1

This is the first time I've been able to get a photo showing the relative size of a wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax).




The cow in the left-hand bottom corner of the large photo is about as far away from the camera as the eagle sitting on the post (framed by the black square), so she makes a good comparison size-wise. And you can't see the base of the fence post the eagle is sitting on, but there's not much of it hiding behind the grass there. These birds are BIG.
