There was an eagle who had just caught and digested a salmon, so I waited for his take-off

Finally in WR - there was fog for most of the day because the wind was blowing from land to Sea - which also made it difficult for eagles and other birds to drift - when the air flows from land to sea there is a drop in altitude so it means that birds have no lift, on the contrary, they drop. Opposite is true when the air blows from the sea - fantastic lift. So although it was mildly windy, eagles stayed on ground to save energy.

Bravo Christian! Your pictures never cease to amaze me. You must be getting quite the workout with those massive lenses. I'm glad you were home this weekend to enjoy your glorious weather. Thank you for the flight lesson about birds and air pressure.
