Covid does not seem to have affected the eagles. Last year it meant less noise around the nest. The same may be the case this year as people are not out and about as in previous times. There are less cars on the roads.

The eagles have been taking turns egg sitting. Local estimates are 7-10 days. I’m hoping for good weather and that more activity falls during during my week off. Would be nice to get a good shot of an incoming fish. I did not have much luck with that last year. Stay safe everyone!

They’re magnificent. Good luck with your efforts to photograph an incoming fish.

Time is always an issue with me. When I have the time, will the weather cooperate? Last years this pair was fickle. I think they waited until the light was low to get one.

Thanks! They usually look grand. I think it was annoyed by a passing truck.

Here in the UK we have eagles up in Scotland and they are protected I believe. But here in North East England we have falcons. Great little bird of prey. You see them hovering, just waiting to dive. Great to see.

We have hawks, peregrine falcons, the Bald eagle, and some golden eagles nearby. The peregrine here are hard for me to capture because of where they perch and how fast they fly. I was able to capture one at York Minster. The ones here nest under tall bridges or on cliffs.

We are about thirty miles or so away from York. We drive ten minutes into the country side and you see them very easily.

Lucky! Falcons here stick more to tall bridges and cliffs.

I love York. I have been there twice by myself and a third time a friend joined me there. I also love the Yorkshire Dales.

I’m in Hull quite close to it. We usually go for the Christmas markets. Great place to see in the dark.

Some day I would like to be there for the Christmas markets. I usually only get off the week between Christmas and New Years. Most of them are closer by then.
