Well travelled Youngster
Whilst out guiding for the day in the West of the UAE last Saturday, I had the good fortune to cross paths with a rather beautiful young Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca).

I looked at the ground where the adult had swooped lowest and I saw the young peregrine on the ground. I took […]
