I wouldn't can myself a fan, but I do like a raptor. What are they?
In reply to Tony the Blade:

Wegdies (wedge tailed eagles.)

I had the great delight of flying alongside one on my paraglider once.

beautiful looking birds, where ( what country )are you walking to see these?
In reply to gd303uk:

Thanks mate. I'm in the capital of Australia, these were taken in "nature parks" hereabouts.

I've flown with the wedgies - on a hang-glider (1989 & 95) in the Buffalo / Kiewa valley areas. Thanks for reminding me. Where do you fly PG?

Cool. I thought the sitting bird was dead after a few minutes - but then got some head movements
In reply to toad:

Brilliant link. Cheers.
In reply to LeeWood:

I was flying hereabouts in Canberra.
In reply to toad:

Brilliant link, I've bookmarked that. (though due to the time difference they'll mostly be asleep.
