Tawny Eagle

The species Aquila rapax is a well distributed bird, ranging from Rumania east through the south Russian, south Siberian and Kirghiz steppes east through Transbaikalia to Mongolia; south through Arabia, India and almost the whole of Africa.
The northern populations only are migrant.
Throughout its range it favours desert, semi-desert, steppes, open savannah, thin bushveld and cultivation steppe from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 m) - higher on migration.
The diet of the Steppes and Tawny Eagle is largely carrion of all kinds, usually fresh, often the kills of other raptors; mammals up to the size of a rabbit, small to medium rodents; lizards and snakes. Locusts, grasshoppers and flying termites are taken in season, also birds up to the size of guineafowl, particularly injured individuals.
It will also pirate food from any raptor larger or smaller than itself and kills its own prey on the ground.

A nice close up,It would be nice to see a note, do you know the name of this bird???

TFS:)

Tanja,

Very good Composition, POV and detail of subject. IMHO, I feel it could be a bit sharper and thereby showing even more detail. Either using a tripod or speeding up the shutter speed will help you achieve this. Shutter speed can normally be improved by taking the ISO rating from 100 to 400 if you are hand holding and want to avoid camera shake.

Hi Tanja,
Nice shot, it looks like you're pretty close here. Good detail and a very intense stare you've captured, nice work. Actually I can see you in his eye :-)
Cheers,
