... and away
We sat looking at the eagle for a little longer then he took off. This was our final sighting of this particular Wedge-tailed Eagle. Then we headed deeper into the mountains on a pretty rough road.- delia todd

Best view
The Wedge-tailed Eagle eventually crossed the road in front of us then settled in a tree. I've a funny feeling that Peter may have taken this picture, as he was on the right side of the car and I may have spooked him while getting out. But he still gave me the best view of an eagle I've ever had!!!- delia todd

Keeping up
Some miles later, we turned off onto a dirt road to Angorachina. Almost immediately a Wedge-tailed Eagle joined us, flying alongside the car for quite a while. He really gave me a great photo opportunity, as due to the road surface we had to drive very slowly, partly due to the bumps, but also...- delia todd

Following
We were far from done with Wedge-tailed Eagle sightings for a couple of miles down the road, was one flying alongside us. Quite pleased with this one, taken from a moving car LOL- delia todd

Jay Walkers..... guess not!
We eventually came out onto the main road that ran up the other side of the mountains from where we were staying.... rather a rough track all the way, so maybe a long road for a short-cut comes to mind LOL. Rounding a series of bends we came across a group of Australian Raven, with a couple of...- delia todd

High up
After another awesome breakfast we headed for a couple of miles back towards Hawker before taking a rather rough road across to Moralana. We didn't see too much bird life initially, but then spotted a large blob sitting high up on a ridge. Couldn't really have been anything else but a...- delia todd

Riding the thermals
We went to the town of Blinman and I was surprised to see another Emu there, walking across the road as if he owned the town!!! We went to the hotel for lunch (the Pub in the Scrub) as it's affectionately known. In there was information about the Cazneux Tree... a very old gum tree standing...- delia todd

Wedge-tailed Eagles and The Power Graph
What began as a bit of a look at Wedge-tailed Eagles morphed into a think about what limits the size and weight of eagles and birds in general by looking at the power required vs airspeed relationship. How behaviour and geographic range maybe limited in large birds such as albatross. The power...- Seashore

Wedge-tailed Eagle .... Bunjil
A pencil sketch of a Wedge-tailed Eagle .... Bunjil - the creator spirit of the Dreaming - very important in Indigenous culture. Magnificent raptors with recorded wingspans of 2.84m and anecdotal reports of 10ft+ birds. Preying on animals up to the size of full grown Kangaroos - they truly are...- Chosun Juan

Soaring
I thought the eagle had finished with me, but he suddenly took off and there I was floundering with my camera trying for a flight shot. Got one eventually and quite pleased to get that tail shape. That's it for these guys for a while, anyway!;) We then drove through the Parachilna gorge up to...- delia todd

Perched
The eagle then flew across the road in front of us and I thought that was the end of it. But not at all, he landed on a tall bush beside the road, giving me a lovely close view. WOW! I love these guys.- delia todd

Company
After some more miles along this tarmacked road, we turned off toward Angorachina It started with a long straight dirt road and almost immediately we had the company of a Wedge-tailed Eagle flying alongside us. What a thrill that was.- delia todd

Feeding frenzy
We'd now made our way across to the metaled road on the other side of the mountains. Sadly there were a number of road kills on the road, all attracting scavengers. This group consisted mostly of Australian Ravens and a single Wedge-tailed Eagle. Picture quality isn't great, as I took it...- delia todd

Ridged
This day we drove a little south then turned on to a dirt road taking us through to Moralana. Quite a scenic drive. We didn't see many birds to start with, but suddenly there was one spied on a distant ridge. From the size, it really couldn't have been anything else than a Wedge-tailed Eagle...- delia todd

Wedgie
After our picnic lunch of course we then had to drive all the way back to the main road! Then continued up it to the town of Blinman. There we sat in the pub having a nice cold drink. Time to head back now and half-way along an emergency stop was called for to see this Wedge-tailed Eagle. This...- delia todd

Wedge-tailed Eagle (imm)
Some years ago we had the thrill of seeing this bird close to. An adult flew off, but the inexperienced juvenile allowed me to approach within full-frame distance and take dozens of shots in all poses! In fact I see one of these shots is already in Opus!- peterday

Wedge-tailed Eagle
Seen in a tree by the roadside, on our way to Fogg Dam (I did explain, I think, why the photos from that day are not in chronological order). Taken at an angle through the van window, which may be why the camera refused to give me a sharp focus. Too bad, since he did sit there for quite a while...- Doc Duck
