Great shot, magnificent bird. That fish definitely died a few days ago though?, they do like to scavenge dead fish!

What a sweet catch!
However, what amazes me most are the talons on that guy! They look fearsome and SO powerful! They really are majestic creatures, so beautiful and raw in their nature.

Great shot!

Woah! Unreal! Well, all I can say: you're pretty damn lucky, we pretty much have no nature of interest, where I live. We killed it all or drove it out of the country which sucks now, but they didn't think about it back then.
