Golden Eagle, Aquila chrysaetos - a photo on Flickriver

Golden Eagle, Aquila chrysaetos

            I hiked up fairly high yesterday to a ridge here on Mull. The view alone from up there was spectacular but then I had  this very close encounter with this beautiful Golden Eagle as it flew in low and at some considerable speed along the ridge.... and it didn't move its wings once! Effortless speed and grace for what can be a brutal bird. Up here alone it certainly got the hairs on the back of my neck raised.
Many thanks to those who take the time to view, fave and or comment on some of my images.
