Shot at 'Mediahafen' in the city of Dusseldorf.

a martial eagle (polemaetus bellicosus) leaving the perch.

in africa there are three species of "big" eagles and they occupy three different ecosystems.

the black eagle live in the mountains ad rocky areas.

the crowned eagle live in the forests.

the martial eagle prefer open woodlands ,savannas and arid areas.

this is a male,not so big and less spotted than the female.

females can arrive till 4.5/4.8 kgs with 240cm wingspan.

it is a very agile raptor able to catch big birds but enough strong to kill young/small antelopes,primates

and small predators till the jackal size.

Jumping Spider

This wee one seemed to be judging the distance for its next jump in pursuit of a meal. It jumped a millisecond later.

A long-billed dowitcher leaps for joy after doing a bit of bathing and preening. I read on the Cornell ornithology site that long-billed dowitchers have tactile receptors on the end of their beaks which allows them to "feel" for pray. They're basically a large sandpiper and do sandpiper-like stuff, sticking their beak down into the water and silt looking for food.

This is my favorite jump/flash drive with Swarovski crystals. The size of the drive is 2.5" - the section photographed is just under 2". HMM, everyone ! !

I have a few shots of Jane I am always wanting to get and this is nearly one of them. I'd like to get her more in mid-air. She has her hind feet still on the love seat in this frame, but it's the best I've done so far. Kinda hard to do with a manual focus lens.
