Nice series. All are really good captures. The one of the secretary bird is particularly interesting because you don't get to see that bird, or that behaviour, very often. :thumbup:

Hey Andy
Great series of images pal - the first one is classic Bald Eagle - the Bateluer, which I have never heard of looks like it had a bad feather day and the last shot reminds me of a B52 - beautifully menicing.
As for the brutal attack on the rubber snake well it's original, very brave, rubber snakes can give you a fair old twang

Fantastic shots, a bit slower than your usual mach 1 jobs but a lot more gracefull.
Your not sures are Red Kites and a Griffin Vulture.
Can you ask your cheaffeur if he can fit another one in the Bentley next visit please?!!!!!

WOW! I love them all! Oh...and...the kicking the hell out of the rubber snake comment.....made me spurt rootbeer out my nose!

At first I thought the last one might be a Condor, as the one that I saw and (with much less success) tried to photograph here , but the light head is confusing me again...

That bird show which I tried to take photos of from the sidelines (not the place where the spectators were sitting) also has a secretary bird in their rows which stomped on a fake snake -- that is fun to watch, isn't it?

That last one is really neet. I love how strong he looks in that picture.
