Adult white-tailed eagle on dead fish

D4s, 600 4,0, f/ 4,0, 1/400, ISO 6400

My opinion : Norway offers the best white-tailed eagle photography in the world ! … but still (and of course) : Other places in Europe offers other situations with different angles & different situations, so my main obsession with my a week in the hide in the Hungarian wetlands was to shoot the eagles in a way that`s hard to do in Norway : Very "close up", with a low angle over open water and with a long lens to try to get a "cropped & compressed" vision" of the proud eagle`s most iconic characters : 

Sharp eyes, ripping beak & powerful claws.

All pictures are shot in late January / early February 2016 at Lake Csaj, Hungary
