The Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford was this year blessed with The Black Eagles, the aerobatic team of the Republic of Korea Air Force.
They fly the native built T-50 jet trainer and the team's aircraft were airfreighted to the UK and assembled at Leeming in Yorkshire. The whole exercise was a great way of trying to sell this impressive aircraft for export.
On the Thursday at Fairford, they did a full blown rehearsal in wonderful evening skies and here we see two coming into land after their lengthy display.

Reminds me of one of the old stories about a boy who climbed on a cliff to an eagles nest to get a sacred eagle feather. He ended up in the eagle's nest with two young birds and couldn't find a way to get back down. He was adopted by the eagles and shared their food and one day the two baby eagles were big enough so he tied one on each of his wrists and they flew him down to safety. In thanks, he painted their heads the sacred red colour and released them and that is how Turkey Vultures got their red heads...at least that's how I remember the story.
Not the sort of thing I do with photos but I thought I would give it a go,not sure it works so would be grateful of some helpful critique,tbh there wasnt alot i could do with the shot apart from try something arty :/

Figure this photo lent itself to a vertical crop. Really happy I had the prop blur just right not just to get a prop disk but also the shapes of the props in the frame.

Black Eagle
Ictinaetus malayensis
We saw so many birds in this trip. Minivets, bulbuls, babblers, shrikes, owls, orioles, swallows, parrots, eagles, treepies.....
But unfortunately I could not photograph most of them. Either they were too fast or I was too slow or there was not enough light.
This one was an exception. Nila spotted it and signalled me. I took two shots before it took off. In fact I had the third shot which showed the empty perch.
Black eagle is pretty majestic bird and is a skillful flier as all raptors are. But the special feature of this bird is its ability to fly slow! It mainly raids birds' nest for eggs and young birds. So it needs to manoeuver skillfully through the trees and its slow speed helps. However it is also said to pick up small mammals and such from the ground.
Its wings are fairly large for its size with strong primary feathers which is said to aid gentle flight.
