Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos)

Taken from a hide in the Mountains of Norway, you have to enter the Hide before first light and can't leave until dark. The carcasses left out are mostly Road kills the local Ploce phone the guides when they find a road kill which is then used as suplementery feeding for the Eagles over the Winter.
Some of the Foxes are Animals that are culled by Local Farmers instead of being buried they are used to Feed the Golden and White-tailed Sea Eagles from late October until March.
