I was listening to local ABC radio the other day and Tim Cox was having a conversation with Sally Bryant about Tasmanian Wedgetail eagles. I thought I would share the information I picked up.
The female wedgetail eagle is a larger bird than the male of the species and the darker the feathers the older the bird.
This still doesn’t help me identify the sex of this lovely eagle that has been visiting me but I do like to gather and share snippets of useful information as well as interesting links like this one, Raptor and Wild life Refuge

Gorgeous birds, hopefully their numbers are increasing in the wild, so majestic and graceful.
The last photo is particularly clean and elegant.
If you manage to get close up and personal to your not-so-little visitor perhaps that information would help 😉
Wonderful photos though, the third one is the epitome of freedom.
What does it say that you post eagle pictures and I’m admiring the beauty of the trees? I so miss the eucalypts. I swear I could stare at them for hours. But the eagles are lovely too.
Oh wow! We are on the same page. That is one beautiful bird.
She’s beautiful Kim. I love that third picture where she is flexing her wings.
Amazing photos, thank you! BG Xx
Magnificent.
Oooh, I love the last pic.
Oops, I meant the second picture.
what fantastic pics
