I have been very quiet recently and I apologize for that, it is not that I have not been doing anything just haven't found the time to share anything with you.
for a long time I have been trying to capture my resident pair of Crowned Eagles in flight and never been able to but I finally managed to this the other day.

The Crowned Eagle is not our largest Eagle in South Africa, that honor goes to the Martial Eagle, it is however the most powerful, and a truly awesome bird to have flying around. I was lucky enough to ring an adult female Crowned Eagle 2 weeks ago and what an awesome bird to ring, it takes a 26mm dia ring and its hind talon is in excess of 55mm.
