Evening stroll and eagles

As I have mentioned, cycling is not great in St.John’s – there is not much cycling infrastructure, cars are unsure how to treat cyclists, and out-of-town few roads have paved edges (so one is directly exposed to fast inter-city traffic). Apparently there is some great mountain biking to be done, and great gravel rides further out-of-town … but I only brought my commuter bike.

Anyway, despite limited cycling possibilities there are great places to walk. About twenty minutes from my lodgings is an eagles’ nest, visible from above as one walks along the top of a cliff. Here is what I saw yesterday evening.

It is a series of photos of nesting eagles, with one arriving from the hunt, a shared snack, a switch-over of egg duty, and the second one taking-off for its own hunt.

I didn’t have the best camera equipment (no tripod, 200mm lense – with nest about 70m away) or light (evening shadow), but was lucky to have any equipment at all! The best camera is the one you have ….
