This pale form Booted Eagle flew over the house yesterday as I was fetching the washing in. I had to run back into the house, grab the camera, change settings, run back outside, the eagle was way above by then. Happens everytime, you'd think I'd have learnt by now!

When I visit Patagonia, one of the many joys about being there is getting to see these birds up close. The Andean Condor, wow what a bird it is. Weighing in at 15kg and a wingspan up to over 3m it is one of the largest flying birds in the world.

An Andean Condor perched on a rock face with a grey river below and behind. The rock face is on the right half of the picture. The bird is black and white. Mostly a black body, with white on it's wings and a white ruff around its bold black/grey head. It has a read eye.
