Laguna de Medina Sidonia

We headed over early on in the morning, as it had been quite a while since we had last visited this area and we were keen to spot some ducks.

We were fortunate enough to see two large Eagles on that day, the Spanish Imperial Eagle and the Bonelli's Eagle. We were able to capture some photographs of the Spanish Imperial Eagle from a distance however, we were unable to get any of the Bonelli's as it was too far away. 

Here are the photos we took,  and as you can see they're not the best picture quality but its enough to appreciate the size of the Eagle:
