An sea eagle or white tailed eagle approaching.

Feeding seabirds at the fisher mans pier.

Foe some days ago I was at a pier for buying fresh fish. The waist from the fish was trowed out on the sea for the seabirds. Between large amount of seagulls there was one sea eagle who came to get some food. It was quite busy I had to set new settings on the camera. It was also difficult to see and follow the eagle in between of a chaotic bunch of seagulls.

With food in the claws, the eagle flies away.

The eagle can be pretty big, it can have a wingspan of almost two and a half meters and weight between four and seven kilos. The color of the beak gives an indication of how old the eagle is. Young sea eagles have beach beak, when they grow older it becomes more yellow. (Wikipedia)

An exciting moment by the sea.
Thanks for passing by
