Desert Eagle - Filming an old Wedge Tailed Eagle in the Australian desert.

It was a real thrill to film this very old and confiding female Wedge Tailed Eagle as it reared its two chicks in the harsh conditions.
I was also lucky to locate a small number of Letter Winged Kites as they also struggled with extreme temperates.
Thanks for watching and if you like these type of videos, you can watch more at www.raptorcapture.com

This experience is so sad yet so uplifting to think this most wonderful creature was still successfully giving life to her amazing offspring which undoubtedly carried her genes well and truly into the future, thank you for this amazing video🙂🙂

I only started looking at footage of our beautiful native eagle 🦅 the Mighty Wedge tailed eagle, even though it's sad that she finds it hard to lift that rabit, at least we know she has had a good life and plenty of beautiful offspring with her life long mate, them two chicks are so wonderfully parented she us truly a magnificent mother. Thank you David for this touching short insight into this mother eagle's life's struggles.

Thanks for your positive feedback. It's great to be using the camera gear again after such a long break and to get out amongst nature.

The first one is a female (girl). Females are larger and more powerful then a male (boy) wedge tailed eagle (the same with all birds of prey except for vultures because female and male vultures are around the same size).
