Landing gear deployed

White-tailed eagle making a pass at some carrion. The eagles are fed daily throughout the winter at this site in Białowieża Forest. This not only helps the several pairs in the area get through the winter and increases the chances of them breeding the following year, but also means that they are regular visitors to the hide. We followed strict precautions to ensure they were not disturbed, entering the hide before sunrise and leaving after sunset when the eagles had left to roost.
