Sea Eagle at Edinburgh Zoo

Like for example there was a walkway over the Zebra fields where you could get very close and look down on the animals. A lot of the creatures were asleep but I thought I would share this close up photo of a Sea Eagle. It was massive, maybe three or four feet from its head to the tip of its tail.

It has been planned for a few weeks, in actual fact I was meant to go to the zoo back in October but because of the weather I didn’t. So I decided just to go whatever the weather.

I like this photo below but it’s a pity you can’t see this male Sea Lions eyes.
