I hope I'm not intruding with this shot. On the way home from trying to grab a few sunset shots, there was a huge commotion on the main road to Wellington Point. There were Wildlife rangers and literally hungreds of people pointing and taking photos.Sitting in the main street in a large gum tree wasthis large wedge tailed eagle. I only had a 200mm lens so this is cropped and noisy because it was dark, but it is something that I have never seen before so close to the city.
This was a pretty big bird measuring about 3 feet from top to tail. The wind is blowing from the ocean behind the bird and ruffling his feathers around his neck.
