I came across this picture on Flickr whilst I was looking for images to illustrate my Highland Hundred (plus four) post.
I think it's a magnificent shot. Jonathan Ratcliffe has caught the huge bird perfectly against the brooding sky, giving the image a very powerful feel.
In Jon's photostream the picture is labelled 'Golden Eagle'. Having looked at it closely, I think it's actually a a juvenile white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla). The massive bill is a bit of a give away.
I am grateful to Jon for allowing me to use his picture.
