Tawny eagle are usually the most commonly seen raptor on an East African safari (at least in my experience). I caught this guy just after takeoff in Samburu National Park in Kenya. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 280, f/5.6 at 1/1000th of a second.

Great capture Sean!
Thosw feathers at the end of it’s wings really look like feathers.
An impressive action shot and an impressive bird. That wing span is amazing with even the tail feather splayed out. Beautiful.
