22 Apr 2016 Wonthaggi Wedgies

Sometimes I think my love or raptors, especially big raptor is a sign of my novice status as a birder. Many of the "serious" dudes I see a bird sites seem to be over this, focusing on finding smaller, rarer species. I am no there yet. So when I was driving to Wonthaggi and I saw some wedgies circling about Dalyston I pulled over and took some shots.





















I drove on towards Wonthaggi and another wedgie pair passed overhead. Am pretty confident this was a different pair of eagles. And one of the almost landed on the car, opting instead to perch precariously in a tree a bit too small on the other side of the road. I managed to take this shot without leaving the car, which would have frightened the bird.
