LESSER SPOTTED EAGLE

TURKEY DALYAN OCTOBER 2008. Bird of the holiday for me, as i left the marsh i looked at my watch, late as usual but this time it was serious, i had to get back, and pack my suitcase ready for being picked up as it was my last morning,i slung my gear over my shoulder ready to run back when a ruddy great shadow pased over me, looking up i saw this magnificent beast glide right over me, i gave chase as it flew away towards the village, panic set in as i kept stopping and firing off a few shots, the Eagle landed in a tree but the stupid Hooded Crows chased it out, it flew back past me and landed in a tree some half mile away, why on my last morning when i had no time left,gutted i had to leave it sat in the tree.
