[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This tawny eagle was sitting in a fairly high tree on the left hand side of the road so I had to carefully drive past and then turn around and come back to a position where I could take the photo. With the bean bag and 500 mm lens on the window I had to almost lie on my back to get this shot. Being in an uncomfortable position it is then difficult to keep the camera steady without image stabilisation.

See my previos posting on the tawny eagle for more info. This looks like an adult.

Hello Robin,
Well composed. Nice catch light in its eye.
You said you used the beanbag.
Did you turned the engine off as well and what about the IS?
