Took these 8 yeas ago when I was birding at Mount Rosy. Was excited when I spotted the eagle way up the tree and happy clicking away. Alll of a sudden the eagle decided to scoop down towards me. In a moment of pain I managed to continuing clicking and grab 3 shots of it in flight. The inflight shots were badly under exposed.

Not entirely sure why i like this shot... think it takes me back to times of flying over cloud covered mountains on my way to some adventure somewhere.
Anycheese, another little dip for the 10-22. I advise you not to buy my lens when it appears on Ebay some time in the future.
C’est à la pointe du Nez de chien, à « la limite transversale de la mer » (frontière entre espace fluvial et maritime, à l’embouchure de l’estuaire de la Loire), que surgit l’immense serpent de mer de Huang Yong Ping (1954, Chine) dont le squelette apparaît comme issu d’une fouille archéologique. Son mouvement le rend vivant : on devine qu’il a traversé les mers pour venir échouer sa gueule démesurée sur cette plage. La ligne de ses vertèbres joue avec la courbe du pont de Saint-Nazaire, et la manière dont il se pose rappelle l’architecture des carrelets, ces pêcheries typiques de la côte atlantique.

Had a wonderful walk today to Three Cliffs Bay, the Gower. The rain held off the whole time but there was lots of drama in the sky - fabulous :-)
C'est en me promenant sur l'île de Hovedøya que j'ai aperçu ce morceau de tuyau en ciment, recouvert de mousse et resemblant à un gigantesque serpent glissant dans les sous-bois.
I was walking around on Hovedøya island when I saw this piece of a cement pipeline covered with moss, strangely resembling a huge snake sliding in the woods.
ecember 2024: I have seen a Crested Serpent Eagle eat an eel and a frog. However yesterday it finally lived up to its name as I photographed it eating a snake / serpent.
It didn’t waste any time after biting the head off and downed the snake in less than a minute 😋 Does anyone know which snake it was? - Kosi River, Uttarakhand, India 🇮🇳
The Crested Serpent Eagle (Spilornis cheela) is a medium-sized bird of prey that is found in forested habitats across tropical Asia. Within its widespread range, there are considerable variations and some authorities prefer to treat several of its subspecies as completely separate species.
In the past, several species including the Philippine Serpent Eagle (S. holospila), Andaman Serpent Eagle (S. elgini) and South Nicobar Serpent Eagle (S. klossi) were treated as subspecies of the Crested Serpent Eagle. All members within the species complex have a large looking head with long feathers on the back of the head giving them a maned and crested appearance. The face is bare and yellow joining up with the ceres while the powerful feet are unfeathered and heavily scaled. They fly over the forest canopy on broad wings and tail have wide white and black bars. They call often with a loud, piercing and familiar three or two-note call. They often feed on snakes, giving them their name and are placed along with the Circaetus snake-eagles in the subfamily Circaetinae.

Crested Crested Serpent Eagle can be mainly found in countries such as India and Srilanka. This eagle come to Indian Subcontinent for breeding purposes. In the mating season, this bird can be found singly, in open woodlands with higher tree density which will be a shining opportunity for bird photographers. According to my experience this bird is not a shy bird, Not a one always trying to hide in the fear.
The crested hawk-eagle (Nisaetus cirrhatus) is a bird of prey species of the family Accipitridae. It was formerly placed in the genus Spizaetus, but studies pointed to the group being paraphyletic resulting in the Old World members being placed in Nisaetus (Hodgson, 1836) and separated from the New World species
Crested Serpent Eagle breed in the Indian subcontinent, mainly in India and Sri Lanka, and from the southeast rim of the Himalaya across Southeast Asia to Indonesia and the Philippines. This is a bird occurring singly (outside mating season) in open woodland, although island forms prefer a higher tree density. It builds a stick nest in a tree and lays a single egg.
