Mary, this is not only a wonderful photograph, one you should feel very proud of, but an awesome article about Mr. Marshall. I'm passing the article along to a friend in the Lake District.

Such a handsome eagle and you've captured him beautifully, MaryB. The bokeh is nice and soft to feature his golden-red feathers in profile ... another absolutely magnificent shot! Loved the story ... very touching to read of the bond between him and Mr. Marshall ... terrific way to start the day (for me) MaryB! Thanks ...

I sit and stare at this image in AWE! Reading the article is next but I must take in the view of this magnificent bird and your incredible photography.
It would be the ultimate photo for me to take something like this.

Men's deeds are incredibly incomprehensible, I read the newspaper story. The first feeling I got was to close up those fools and let them have the same suffering as the bird has undergone, but my ratio said that there was something wrong in their minds that need repair. I found the story fascinating, especially the plane-owner who has found the best possible solution for this problem. Thank you for sharing, and this royal picture, you can see he didn't lose his self-confidence!
