Tawny Eagle

Another post of the same Tawny Eagle that i had posted earlier, this image was shot from under the car, yes UNDER THE CAR! :)

Tawny Eagle
Canon EOS 20D + Sigma 135-400mm
Location: Bangalore, India

A little info about the Tawny Eagle from Wiki:
Length: 62–72 cm
Wingspan: 165–185 cm
Weight: 1.6–2.4 kg
The Tawny Eagle's diet is largely fresh carrion of all kinds, but it will kill small mammals up to the size of a rabbit, reptiles and birds up to the size of guineafowl. It will also steal food from other raptors.
The call of the Tawny Eagle is a crow-like barking, but it is rather a silent bird except in display.

    Under the car, what kind of car do you have??? Wow man, that's a great shot and I love the blur effect on the first plan... Well done Angad, this is splendid.

    @ TERENCE & GRANT: Thanks, im glad you liked it. :)

    @TOM: i decided to get out of the car, crawl around it to the rear and then shoot the bird, but my friend suggested that i try shooting it from under the car. :)

    @CHRIS: Well its my friends car Chris. It was a swift, and thanks... :) The blur in the foreground is all the dried up grass right in front of the lens, as i was lying down while shooting this image.

    What an exciting capture to have taken and no doubt under your car, amazing. Love the softened quality that the lighting of such an endeavor gave you. Great image~

    Hello Angad

    that was a great capture...did you have to imitate a rodent to attract the eagle...
