Sometines you have to take nature on

Sometimes you have to take nature on, at a recent 'bird' demo in France I caught the eye of this.....I believe it is an American bald eagle, a quick appraisal by both species resulted in the conclusion that northern Continental Europe was only big enough for one of us.

It had on its side, a serious looking beak, claws like a screenshot from Jurassic Park and, as you can see, a sickening size - given its role as a high speed flying creature.

It came at me with some intent......

The result? Try checking its blog, or alternately check out my extremely comfy new down pillow...

Pah!

PS. It is not a yank bald actually...five pounds for a correct ID...
