little eagle

We drove around the Porongurups, stopping here and there for interesting spots, walks and views (of which there were many of all). At one place, overlooking Mount Barker, we had pulled up when this Little Eagle flew over. I just managed to catch him before he went out of sight!

The time was beginning to wear on now, so we headed back towards Cunnamulla but first detoured into the Evaporation Ponds. Wandering along a path beside one of the ponds my attention was drawn to a raptor and there was a Little Eagle flying over. At one point he actually got mobbed by a Crow...

This resident Little Eagle female is just the most amazing hunter. Day after Day, Season after Season, Year after Year, she successfully hunts, and provides for her family. Having watched her over the best part of a decade, she has shown a distinct preference and hunting style aimed at...

This was another shot of my 'new bird' thought you all might like to share.

If you drive slowly, stick to the backroads, and keep your eyes open, you get some wonderful surprises, sometimes. This Little Eagle was just as you see: only a few metres over the fence, standing on the grass, and walking around a little. I stopped rather too close to it - a Brown Falcon, which...
