This mesmerising girl is called Chestnut. Photographed, when remembering to press the shutter..... at York Bird of Prey Centre.
She has the most mesmerising red/orange eyes. I have never seen anything like them.

After witnessing the sovereignty and majesty of the Steller's sea eagle at Pittsburgh National Aviary, it was a wish and goal of mine to see them in the wild if I could.
A trip to Japan in February 2019 provided an opportunity. During these cold winter months, this species migrate to Hokkaido's coastline and rivers starting around November.
I was in Hokkaido to observe tanchozuru, the iconic red-crowned cranes and hoped to include a visit to Shiretoko National Park where Steller's can be seen.
Sadly, my wish did not come true as changes in itinerary and time restrictions did not allow for this excursion...so I must, for now, be content with my memories from the aviary.
What a magnificent bird, sadly they are now listed as vulnerable.
Wingspan is up to 2.5 m.

Great fun photographing these beautiful raptors on Sunday evening at Hirn Mill (River Gwash Ospreys)
This beautiful Snowy Owl was an early Christmas gift for me this year. I was told by a friend a bunch of these owls migrate in St. Catharines, Ontario. I was lucky to find one within an hour of searching with help of other photographers.
My first photo of a Bald Eagle! With some patience laying beside the river in frozen mud I was able to capture this Bald Eagle in flight searching for its next meal.
