Greater Spotted Eagle - Clanga clanga Expand text

I have created a gallery of the greater spotted eagle despite poor quality of pictures. The same was with the lesser spotted eagle, when the gallery was created based on a few documentary photos. There is admittedly much to do but some changes in the way the beauty of the bird is presented have already been introduced. Maybe it will be similar with the greater spotted eagle? There will be an opportunity to make changes in this gallery too. In Poland this bird is exceptionally rare, but still belongs to breeding birds. Well, at least there’s something to start with…

I have been waiting for my second meeting with the Greater Spotted Eagle for over five years. The earlier one, in fact, can only be called observation. I photographed the flight of the Greater Spotted Eagle against the white sky in Thailand from a long distance. That's the whole observation. When i heard that in Poland there is a high probability of photographing such a rare bird as the Greater Spotted Eagle, it was impossible not to try it. And it succeeded, although it was only partially successful due to the indescribable aura. The bird flew in at 5 am when it was still not light enough to take a picture. He sat down on the top of the birch tree and watched the area closely. His arrival was observed by the marsh harrie, which harassed him several times with its raids over his head. At that time, a recording of the voice of the lesser spotted eagle was made. When i was in the watchroomi manager to make voice recording for the gallery. Now there is only a lack of photos and light to turn the existing documentary photos of the eagle into more interesting shots. And here it was no longer what we wanted. The bird was very careful and flew from one tip of the surrounding tree to the other - no chance of an interesting shot. The hooded crow came with "help". She began to eat on the bait and this was not accepted by the eagle, which immediately chased away the crow and the first non-documentary photos were taken. Unfortunately, it started to rain heavily and the lesser spotted eagle got into a conflict with the raven. The birds flew away, and the rain continued to fall for many hours and it was raining, it was raining, and in a large puddle in front of the watchroom, instead of the spotted eagle, Wood Sandpiper and Common Greenshank appeared there…
One short meeting allowed me taking pictures and recording the voice of the Greater Spotted Eagle. The gallery is no longer documentary, but has not become very good yet. It will still have to be worked on, because it is an amazing bird that is worth spending some time on and presenting it properly. There was a bit of luck this time, but such changes in the gallery, such a rare bird in Poland, should be noted in the information and news on my website.

When I was leaving the shelter the last time after photographing the Greater Spotted Eagle, I wasn’t satisfied with the quantity and quality of the photos. Another attempt to take photos of the Greater Spotted Eagle turned out to be more efficient. Much happened in front of the shelter that day. White-tailed Eagles helped this time. The Greater Spotted Eagle, of course, was very stressed because of their presence, and thanks to it, it flew many times, and after a few hours finally sat down to eat and then disappeared. These attempts were so numerous that many interesting photos were taken to introduce variety to the gallery and give it a very good status. It had to be done, because who knows when the next meeting with such a rare bird as the Greater Spotted Eagle will happen in our country.
