This image is a detail from my watercolor painting American Bald Eagle portrait, which I painted in landscape format. I have cropped it to a modern square format.
Not great photos, but I was doing some running around today, and managed to come across these beautiful Wedge Tailed Eagles. Sadly I couldn’t get close enough to take good pictures, but it was great to watch them majestically soar through the sky. #birdphotography#birdsofprey
My friend came back twice yesterday, the first time to hang out and look around, the second time at dusk to enjoy a delicious sparrow(?) up a spruce tree.
There is a lot of doom and gloom about nature and wildlife.. but I have to say that in the past 4 years I am sure there's been a huge boom in the number of #birdsofprey I see flying (and squawking) around above the various villages, fields and woodlands around me. Something I recall being a rare sight from youth until ~4 years ago is now an almost daily occurrence. Majestic beasts. #britishwildlife

Sitting in the snackbar - This beautiful Sparrowhawk was sitting in our garden at about 50cm (20 inch) from the bird feeding station as if he was in a snackbar. The feeding tray was of course totally abandoned by all the little birds
What do you prefer?
I painted my portrait of a bald eagle in vertical format, but cropped it to a contemporary square format, so you can decide which format best fits your space.
