I shot these two eagles - a Brahminy Kite and a Changeable Hawk i think while on the way out to sea for a fishing trip. It was not the best day to photograph birds because it was overcast with slight rain, the water was choppy and i was struggling to lock focus on the birds while trying to protect my camera from getting sprayed by the sea water every time the boat hit the wave. But it was a spectacular sight seeing both of them defending their fishing ground. I only had a 70-300mm Canon lens with 1.4x tele-convertor on a 5Dmk3 so the focal range was not that great at 420mm. These photos are heavily cropped so i apologized for not being sharp, but i like to share with you guys anyways.





















Cheers!
