Golden Eagle, Aquila chrysaetos. I visit Northern Sweden during the winter months to photograph these magnificent eagles. Over the years I have started to get to know the resident pair of eagles. I have long thought of getting a picture of the eagle very close and after a number of years trying I finally managed it in February 2015.

Taken at eight metres with a 300mm lens this was truely a breathtaking moment for me.
