There was one late correct answer to yesterday’s photo quiz. Well done Geoff. It was taken in Ushuaia, at the tip of South America. I had a variety of suggestions from a Mr. J. Peasmold Gruntfuttock as he claimed to have been Round the Horne but none of his answers bears repeating.
I was waiting at home for all the Long Valley buntings to migrate to Sai Kung when my old pal the White-bellied Sea Eagle did a fly past, accompanied by the even rarer Hardacre’s Headless Eagle. And to prove it, here are a few snaps. I was almost happy with the last one (but not quite).
All downhill from here 
For those of us not there, it is a delight to get the sequence, you get much more of a feel of the bird as an individual that way.
I’m glad Hilary. If they fly round a couple of times it helps but sometimes they just beetle on through. I struggle to keep up.
Oh, you are IMPOSSIBLE !
I suppose you think the second one’s no good because of the wing-shadow. RIDICULOUS.
And the last one ? – maybe because he doesn’t have his legs down for landing, or something …
HONESTLY …!
You must be psychic M-R.
Idiot.
{grin}
The one picture–headless–would make a fascinating writing prompt, don’t you think? 😉
Someone has suggested that headless eagles eat headless chickens. That will be my starting point, Marylin.
Spectacular!!
Thank you, Sunnyheart and welcome.
Dam! I think my reader missed that last post of yours. I love the challenge of a quiz! Bummed.
Anyway. Loved the headless eagle. Heehee. I think we need some Steve Miller theme music here. .
3 top shots, Andrew. The first is a lot of fun and beautifully detailed on the feathers and the last is really rather spectacular and I would be far more than “almost happy” with that! A magnificent bird indeed
All you need James is a chair and some coffee, a little patience and of course a camera. No need to leave home.
I think your WBSE must have just heard “Shake a Tail Feather” before the fly by. Since I have never been able to get a shot of any kind of eagle, I’d be happy with any of them, Andrew.
Damn! Missed the Where did you find it? Round the Horne quiz. Rather glorious pictures Mr H!
Why thank you Sir Simon! I have been keeping a weather eye out for a post from you but either I’ve missed it or you are still in retreat.
Could that be ‘ soaring like an eagle?’
It could, Gerard but that’s a soar point.
