A golden eagle caused a flap after landing on the windowsill of a house in Rhondda Cynon Taff. Rebekah Norton, from Ton Pentre, published pictures on Facebook of the huge bird of prey staring through her window. Appealing for information, she posted: "Has anyone lost a MASSIVE bird? Currently sitting on my window."
In an update, she later said: "Apparently it's a golden eagle. Owner found." In the pictures the eagle can be seen wearing leather anklets used in falconry. According to the RSPB, golden eagles can have a wingspan of up to 2.2m (7ft 2in) and weigh up to 6.6kg (14lb 9oz).

My Dad used to raise them. I'll have to ask him what they like to eat most, just in case a Golden Eagle ever decides to land on my window sill looking for his pet hooman.
ReplyDeleteOne of the challenges this year for my club kids is in photography, we'll be going out to the local State Park when the weather gets good again. We will be looking to take photos of Bald Eagles which have started nesting on park grounds since about 2003 or so. Several times I have see flocks of them, and one day last year one of them swooped down in front of my car and snatched some roadkill. That was one huge bird! His wingspan was wider than my car!
What a magnificent bird!!!
