Comment to the pictures from Spain:
In Spain where the pictures were taken 2016 the Bonelli’s eagle are lured to the hide with live pigeons. I didn’t know this until I was in the hide. It made me uncomfortable during the shoot. I disussed this whit the company and they told me that they have tried to make the eagles used to roadkilled rabbit instead.  The result with this has been poor. Furtheron they explained that even if there would have been no photographers they would have fed the eagles in this manner because it is the most successful. Their work have made the eagles breed five years in a row with chicks. The species has declined so it is important work. Despite what I or anyoneelse thinks about this I choose to show the pictures anyway because I think the Bonelli’s eagle deserve it. It is an impressive, beautiful bird that is worth to show.
