Short-toed snake eagle Circaetus gallicus,Vatousa, Lesvos 30/04/18 (Circaetus gallicus)

Still looking to see one with a snake.
This Spring we had to make do with both long-legged and common buzzards with snakes as prey.
I suppose we can't complain. :-)

LOL.... can you prove it's a 'snake-eagle' then with nothing to back it up Mick;);)

Sorry.... couldn't resist that!

A super overhead this - excellent work lad. Very well done.

WOWZER! Great low overhead with brilliant focus, feather detail, double eye contact, stop-action, and background. Exceptional Mick!
