Eagle eye (Shots from a road trip)

From the only dead tree for miles, a Wedgetailed Eagle surveyed the scene for prey beside an unsealed road in Outback South Australia. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the bird so close to the road. I rolled down the window, stopped the car and preyed the bird would not fly away. I managed just two shots before it flew away. If I got not another shot that day, I would have been happy, but the day was young and this was just a teaser; it pays to take the roads less travelled.
