Wedge-tails near William Creek (#3 in SA/NT “outback” single image teaser series)

 

Today’s photo shows a repeatedly-pleasing aspect of our June 2023 “outback” trip: it included a surprisingly large number of sightings of Australia’s largest raptor.

The optimist in me likes to think that wedge-tailed eagle numbers are recovering because a growing number of humans have abandoned their mistaken belief that wedge-tails are “vermin”.

The featured image was taken near William Creek, in northern South Australia, at 11.43 am on 11 June 2023.

As a future post will illustrate, we also enjoyed some closer, rather more dramatic wedge-tail sightings.
