Hi Daniel,
Excellent photos of high reference value.
Is it a live Little Egret captured by this raptor? Or this raptor eating a dead bird?
Pls advise.

I must admit, I thought it looked like the eagle was carrying an avocet.
Now I can't workout what it is! Author: DanielCKChan Time: 26/01/2007 10:29
Dear both, this is an avocet. I will show you another photo about the catching time later, though the photo quality is quite poor...... Author: wcaptain Time: 26/01/2007 13:44
The leg looks like a Little egret. anyway, many thanks.... Captain Author: kmike Time: 26/01/2007 22:21
Imperial Eagles have been eating Avocets all winter, seems likely that this is one.
Cheers
