Booted Eagle yesterday in Cornwall. A few front on and back views. Showing the 'landing lights' either side of the head, a diagnostic feature of both morphs of Booted Eagles. Europe's smallest eagle.

02:30am start with @stevewilson1706.bsky.social!! Epic, yet tense day started with the Booted Eagle being everywhere we weren't and everyone else seeing it. Then just when we thought all was lost & talked about leaving, in it flew to giving dream views. UK ✅ @birdguides.bsky.social

Litter picking is not all doom and gloom. Kingfishers for company and a hell of a sunrise were my payment. Plus free work out happy days ... the amount of litter still sucks though.

I think my next birding video will be from Greyton 🇿🇦 a place I hold dear to me heart. Birding there is next level and often there's not a soul in sight you have the birding all to yourself.

I obviously can't get the entrance and cup in the same shot so I recon this is view best? Webcams have little lights on them to I'll be able to see what's going on in the dark. Of cos I won't have it on all night just short bursts to see what's going on inside in low light.
