The flying door
The White-tailed Eagle was the reason i bought a new camera 2 years ago. every time I made a picture of this amazing bird, it was not sharp, because my focus skills and the camera skills were just not good enough and i got frustrated because of it.
And then it is waiting time because they are very rare and although they have their nests in known places, most of the time those are too far away, and also you often can see the birds at very high altitudes.
This shot was made in Eemnes, my favourite bird area, and I could see the eagle coming from far away. And although the eagle also saw me, he/she was not afraid, and just flew in my direction. I could observe it for nearly 20 minutes as it was gliding along the lake's shores until it finally dissolved in the distance.
In dutch their nick name is btw the flying door.
