Birds from my living room, spring 2016

We live in a house in the outskirts of Rudkøbing, the main town on the small Danish island Langeland (the long island). Langeland is very rich in bird life, and a few of passes our house and is observed. Most of them members of the Crow family and sea gulls (not really worth a photo!)

White Tailed Eagle, Havørn. I have allways wanted to get close to eagles, but it when we moved to Langeland a couple of years ago I succeeded. We have to permanent pair, many passing and some trying to establish themselves as new breeding pairs. Sitting on our terrace enjoying a nice spring day in the sun, we observed 4 white tailed eagles high in the air. They even made some aerial acrobatics holding each-others claws and tumbling down, 2016-03-20
